I would like to trace my husbands family ancestry. Does anyone know what resources if any are available & where I would find them.

Then you are surely a Cypriot, Eleni. By injection.

Doesn't the poor bastard know who his father is?... Just kidding. If you know where he comes from in Cyprus you can often access very detailed genealogical info from a mouchtari. My Grandad was a Mouchtari from the Kyrenia region and he kept a humungous book detailing births deaths and marriages going back a few hundred years. Not all towns kept these books and some where destroyed/ burned in the war.

SKI...
I think his Mum would have very harsh words to say to you if she saw that! :lol:
His Dad was from Ayios Ambrosious Kyrenia & his Mum is originally from Rissokarpasso. I have got some info from relations but I just thought there may be some central place where you can go for info full names, dates, etc,
I have heard of these humongous books but don't remember who told me.
