This section contains vital records from the archives of Saint-Anthony Latin Church in Jaffa, to which the Berouti family belonged. Baptism, marriage, and death records are included for most Berouti family members while they lived in Jaffa until their exile during the Nakba. All records are publicly available on familysearch.org.

A few things to know:

  • A few pages are currently unavailable on familysearch.org for deaths that occurred in 1928. Negib Berouti’s death record is therefore missing.

  • Baptism records for years 1913 to 1931 are currently unavailable on familysearch.org. Therefore, records for the following Berouti family members are missing: Antoine Gebran Berouti, Charles Emile Berouti, Salma Emile Berouti, Edouard Berouti, Victor Negib Berouti, Michel Nicolas Berouti, Robert Berouti, Alexandre Berouti, Claire Gelat, and Yvette Gelat.

  • For privacy reasons, I did not include vital records of people who are still alive today.
