Subject: Hello from Brazil

Dear Elie.
I have found your details while surfing the internet about information on Dar Bechtar.
My great grandfather immigrated from Dar Bechtar to Brazil, and would like to find out if there is any members from the Toubia family still in that village.
I love to hear from them. Please keep me updated. Many thanks.

I am responsible of the group of Don Bosco group of Youth in The Salisian Convent in Bethlehem.
It would be a pleasure for us to have contact with any religious group in Lebanon in order to make a connection with all Christians within the Middle east and especially Lebanon. Maybe in the future we can organize mutual programs together.
thanks in advance.

Subject: Contact Kobayat Website

I'm a grand-grandson of a person who came to Brazil from Kobayat. I'd like to know some more from city and Hakme/Hakime family (probably Hakim is the correct way to write it, isn't it?). I know my grand-grandfather's name in Portuguese was Antonio Pedro Hakme. But it's the portuguese way to write it down. Probably the original (and correct) name was something like Anthony Peter Hakim (English form), Antoine Pierre Hakim or something like it. He was born around early 1900s. I also know he had a brother who did stay in Kobayat - his name was Jose, Joseph or Yousseff Hakim.

If you can contact me or send me some useful link I can use to reach people who could help me, would be grateful. My grandfather (older son of Antonio/Antoin) is around 86 years old and would like to hear from his family in Lebanon.

Regards,

Kleper Hakme

Dear Eng. Elie Abboud,

Christ's peace be with you!

I was looking for an article on your site but it doesn't come up on Search: Les Origines Érémitiques et Orientales de l'Ordre du Carme. I'm very interested in reading this so would appreciate it if you gave me the link to the article in the Kobayat site.

Many thanks, and keep up the fine work as webmaster,

Rianne

Dear Elie,

My name is Youssef AOUN, Lebanese and Maronite, living temporarily in California. I visit regularly kobayat.org and I appreciate the information you are putting online. Some of it helps me a lot.

To make a long story short, I work under the patronage of the IMF (www.maronet.org) where we are trying to push forward the Maronite Web Projects.
We tried to refurbish www.maronite.org, the project is still in its very beginnings.
The newest project we are working on is Maronite History, www.maronitehistory.org. We aim to build a Maronite Wiki, with a conservative approach, to be the reference in the History of the Maronites.

I would appreciate if you take a look at our website and add a link to it on Kobayat.org.

We are constantly looking for people that could help us.

Thank you very much

Youssef AOUN
