ArchivesRe: SAQUI Surname: SAQUI/Saguy/Shaki/Sachi/Sciaky
in reply to a message by Ann Hopper
Hi Ann,
I am currently trying to find out more about my family line. My father's father was a Leon Sciaky, born in what was Salonica, Turkey, but is now Thessaloniki, Greece. I would love to know more about the name "Sciaky", and all of the variants you listed were really helpful! I realize this is almost 15 years after you sent out your inquiry. Are you still at this email? And did you ever find out more about the name?
Thank you!!
