Sorry for the late reply. No the Jaffa Sroujis are not the same family. As per my information from members of that branch is that they used to be a called the “Khoury” family but during the Ottoman period they changed to Srouji to avoid persecution by the authorities. They are also Greek Orthodox Christians while our branch in Nazareth, Haifa and in Zahle Lebanon are mostly Greek Melkite Catholic Christians.

I dont believe any other family would have such an amazing resource to educate them self about their roots.
Im so glad I found this. Thank you all for all the great effort and work.
You have answered many questions I thought their answers are lost thro history.
I would love to find a contact email.

Dear Obai,
Sorry for the late response. Where does your Srouji family originate from ?
Is there a connection with the serougi/srouji families from jaffa, palestine.
