    Robert’s paternal grandfather Louis Malhen Romanos was born in Blouza, Lebanon as can be seen in the marriage act of 1908 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XF7F-GTD and Mary George Shadroui/Shadroni (or at least her parents) was born in Baabda, Lebanon (in the index card says Hadad but in the actual act says Badad) as can be seen here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XF3D-TMJ

    In the marriage act of 1947 of their daughter Josephine Mary Romanos it says both Louis Romanos and Mary Shadroui were from Mount Lebanon as seen here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPQP-4CVL

    Robert’s maternal grandparents Richard Maloof and Sadie Jaboon were both from Baalbek, Lebanon as can be seen in the birth certificate of their daughter Lina/Madelina in 1913 here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2QK-52PZ

    This makes Robert 100% Lebanese not Syrian-Lebanese.
