Mission

The mission of the Cyprus Project is to provide members who share an interest in Cypriot genealogy with a hub from which to research, learn, and grow, alongside others with similar geographic and genealogical interests.

Goals

To bring like-minded WikiTreers together in a collaborative effort to make every Cypriot profile on WikiTree the best it can be.
To provide a single location at which to gather the available resources and information necessary to assist members in building and documenting Cypriot genealogies.
To develop our members' expertise in Cypriot genealogical research in order to better assist less-experienced members in their genealogical pursuits.

Resources

To learn more about Cyprus and resources for research, click on one of the tabs underneath the flag at the top of this page.
