Please change your incorrect and deceiving title in bold as it make readers believe he was both of Syrian and Lebanese descent. His great-grandfather was born in Kfeir, ,Lebanon. Lebanon was part of Greater Syria/Ottoman Syria before 1943. When Lebanon was created those who came from the territory of what became Lebanon started calling themselves Lebanese not Syrian nor Syrian-Lebanese
If his great grandfather was Lebanese why do you have to tag him as a Syrian-Lebanese? It makes readers believe he was both of Syrian and Lebanese descent when he is not.
Emilia Terzariol was born in Treviso, Veneto, Italy (source: MyHeritage)
Narciso Nicolosi’s family was Tuscan from Lucca and the “Toccalino” (correct spelling) were Piedmontese.
