Origins of the Douris name? Click here
The surname DOURIS originated in Greece and is specifically from the island of Ikaria in the Aegean. There are known branches, in the UK, Ireland and France, who are not aware of the origins of their surname and whose connection with Ikaria have long been lost. Similarly there are DOURIS families in America, Canada and Australia, some from the Greek connection and others from Ireland or UK.

The aim of this site is to include all, who wish to be included, on this our DOURIS FAMILY SITE.

June 2012 Update
Dear All .

.
I know it is a long time since I updated this site but lots have been happening..

I will get round to adding some new items soon.

Summer is now here on the island and this year is a very special year as the island is celebrating 100 years of freedom from the Ottoman Empire.. .


There is a new Ikarian Site all in English. It is still in the process of being built but already has some items of interest. It can be found at www.ikaria-pnp.com. The site covers past and present items of interest about Ikaria..

The procedure for viewing the Family Trees are the same - registration gives access to them

Family Tree page. Trees are on separate pages according to the main place of residence of the home person. I hope this way it will be easier for everyone to identify other members of their line. .

All areas of the Website except the Trees are fully available to everyone. .

Don't forget the message board. It can be used to leave and swap messages about family matters, post notices of events of interest or just for saying "Hello" and for what you think of the site.
I would still like photos from other Douris Families to include on the site, especially old ones.

Best wishes to you all.. Topsy

The story of the WWII plane that crashed on Ikaria has progressed and more is now known. It will be updated soon..

Coming soon for the info page the story of St. Theoktisti who's bones are here on Ikaria.

I am still hoping you will send in some of your old photos, stories, family tree information? You can use the contact form on this site to send me anything you wish to be included.

I am always open to any suggestions for our Douris Family website. It was never meant to be a site just about the Evdilos Douris's, please help me expand it with your photos, trees and stories.

Thank you ..Topsy
