Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Dr. Moise Anton Khayrallah was born in Ghbaleh, Lebanon in August 1959. In 1981, he graduated from the American University of Beirut with a BA in Psychology and soon began graduate studies under a USAID scholarship in the same field and university. In 1983, Moise Khayrallah married Vera Tayeh in Lebanon, and the couple soon immigrated to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Khayrallahs became naturalized American citizens in 1993. Khayrallah graduated with a PhD in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996. During the 1990s, he began working at the Burroughs Wellcome Fund on pharmaceutical research and development, which kickstarted his career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. In 2002, he founded the first of his several pharmaceutical consulting and development companies.</p>
<p>The Khayrallah family is involved in the Lebanese-American community, including the Triangle Lebanese Association, as well as in scientific and artistic philanthropy in both Lebanon and the United States. In 2010, Dr. Moise Khayrallah collaborated with Dr. Akram Khater of North Carolina State University in a pilot project to research, preserve, and celebrate the history of Lebanese immigrants in North Carolina; this project resulted in a PBS documentary film, a museum exhibit, and a K-12 curriculum. The success of this initial program led to the establishment of the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies, an endowed research center dedicated to the production, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge and memory about the Lebanese in the United States and throughout the world.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs of Moise Khayrallah and Vera Tayeh Khayrallah. It includes images from their childhoods in Lebanon, photographs of their wedding ceremony, and pictures taken following their immigration to the United States.</p>

Moise and Vera Khayrallah Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Dr. Moise Anton Khayrallah was born in Ghbaleh, Lebanon in August 1959. In 1981, he graduated from the American University of Beirut with a BA in Psychology and soon began graduate studies under a USAID scholarship in the same field and university. In 1983, Moise Khayrallah married Vera Tayeh in Lebanon, and the couple soon immigrated to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Khayrallahs became naturalized American citizens in 1993. Khayrallah graduated with a PhD in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996. During the 1990s, he began working at the Burroughs Wellcome Fund on pharmaceutical research and development, which kickstarted his career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. In 2002, he founded the first of his several pharmaceutical consulting and development companies.</p>
<p>The Khayrallah family is involved in the Lebanese-American community, including the Triangle Lebanese Association, as well as in scientific and artistic philanthropy in both Lebanon and the United States. In 2010, Dr. Moise Khayrallah collaborated with Dr. Akram Khater of North Carolina State University in a pilot project to research, preserve, and celebrate the history of Lebanese immigrants in North Carolina; this project resulted in a PBS documentary film, a museum exhibit, and a K-12 curriculum. The success of this initial program led to the establishment of the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies, an endowed research center dedicated to the production, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge and memory about the Lebanese in the United States and throughout the world.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs of Moise Khayrallah and Vera Tayeh Khayrallah. It includes images from their childhoods in Lebanon, photographs of their wedding ceremony, and pictures taken following their immigration to the United States.</p>

Joseph and Thelma Knuckley Zaytoun Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Ellis Zaytoun was born in Hammana, Lebanon on May 30, 1890. He immigrated to the United States in 1906 along with two of his brothers and by 1910 had moved to New Bern, North Carolina. Ellis began work as a peddler and dry goods clerk. In 1911, Ellis submitted an application for naturalization and was naturalized in 1916.</p>
<p>During this time, Ellis established himself as an integral member of the New Bern community. In 1913, he volunteered for the local fire department and in 1916 he served as a member of the Syrian Brotherhood Society of New Bern, an early humanitarian group dedicated to providing aid to Lebanese, Syrians, and Armenians. In 1914, Ellis married Isabel DeKash, a fellow Lebanese immigrant from Hamana, Lebanon. Isabel and Ellis had six children who survived to adulthood: Evelyn Gladys Zaytoun Farris, Vivian Grace Zaytoun Salem, Constance Teresa Zaytoun Lamar, Joseph Ellis Zaytoun, Agnes Zaytoun Murman, and Henry Zaytoun. In 1917, Ellis expanded his fruit stand into a permanent grocery. In 1930, he owned a restaurant and by 1950 he had opened the Zaytoun News Agency. In 1940, Ellis was employed at John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and in 1957 he founded Zaytoun and Associates with his eldest son, Joseph.</p>
<p>Joseph Zaytoun studied Economics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1942, and began his service after his college graduation in 1943. Joseph, who had worked for the UNC student newspaper, the Daily Tarheel, helped his mother and sisters run the Zaytoun News Agency. He later served as president of the family insurance company. He co-founded the Capital National Bank in 1973, which merged with BB&T to become one of the largest banks in the Carolinas.</p>
<p>Ellis and Isabel's youngest son, Henry Zaytoun, also became a successful businessman. Henry studied at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Ellis Zaytoun was born in Hammana, Lebanon on May 30, 1890. He immigrated to the United States in 1906 along with two of his brothers and by 1910 had moved to New Bern, North Carolina. Ellis began work as a peddler and dry goods clerk. In 1911, Ellis submitted an application for naturalization and was naturalized in 1916.</p>
<p>During this time, Ellis established himself as an integral member of the New Bern community. In 1913, he volunteered for the local fire department and in 1916 he served as a member of the Syrian Brotherhood Society of New Bern, an early humanitarian group dedicated to providing aid to Lebanese, Syrians, and Armenians. In 1914, Ellis married Isabel DeKash, a fellow Lebanese immigrant from Hamana, Lebanon. Isabel and Ellis had six children who survived to adulthood: Evelyn Gladys Zaytoun Farris, Vivian Grace Zaytoun Salem, Constance Teresa Zaytoun Lamar, Joseph Ellis Zaytoun, Agnes Zaytoun Murman, and Henry Zaytoun. In 1917, Ellis expanded his fruit stand into a permanent grocery. In 1930, he owned a restaurant and by 1950 he had opened the Zaytoun News Agency. In 1940, Ellis was employed at John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and in 1957 he founded Zaytoun and Associates with his eldest son, Joseph.</p>
<p>Joseph Zaytoun studied Economics at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1942, and began his service after his college graduation in 1943. Joseph, who had worked for the UNC student newspaper, the Daily Tarheel, helped his mother and sisters run the Zaytoun News Agency. He later served as president of the family insurance company. He co-founded the Capital National Bank in 1973, which merged with BB&T to become one of the largest banks in the Carolinas.</p>
<p>Ellis and Isabel's youngest son, Henry Zaytoun, also became a successful businessman. Henry studied at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. After serving in the United States Navy, Zaytoun began practicing dentistry in Rocky Mount. In 1958, he pursued a Master of Science in Orthodontics from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry; in 1959, he and his family moved to Raleigh, where he established Zaytoun Orthodontics with his wife Martha.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Shehdan Family Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Beshara Shehdan Hatem was born in Hammana, Lebanon. He and his brother Shikery (Chick) immigrated to the United States as teenagers in the 1910s, first settling in Lawrence, Massachusetts, alongside relatives. In order to distinguish himself from other Hatems living in Lawrence, Beshara dropped his last name and began going by his first and middle names. The new surname "Shehdan" was passed down to his children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>From Massachusetts, Beshara and Shikery moved to North Carolina, where Beshara married Susie Smithie Barnhill. The brothers went into the dry-goods business in Greenville, NC before moving to Henderson, NC in the 1920s, where Beshara entered the restaurant business. Beshara and Susie had five children: two sons, Joseph and Linwood; and three daughters, Hazel, Helen, and Martha. Susie Barnhill Shehdan died in Henderson on November 2, 1920. Following her death, Beshara and Shikrey raised the children while continuing to build their restaurant and dry-goods businesses in Henderson.</p>
<p>Beshara met Serina Hakeem in the mid 1920s through a mutual friend, Mrs. Victoria Baddour of Greensboro, NC. Like Beshara, Serina had been born in Hammana, Lebanon. Following World War I, Serina’s father and two older brothers immigrated to the United States, settled in Princeton, NC, and worked as traveling salesmen. Serina stayed in Lebanon and attended school at a French convent. She taught French and English at the school to cover the cost of her board and education. After graduating, she joined her family in North Carolina. On November 19, 1924, Beshara and Serina married in St. Mary’s Church in Goldsboro, NC. They had five children: two sons, Philip and Frederick; and three daughters, Victoria, Theresa, and Evelyn.</p>
<p>In 1929, the Shehdan family moved to Raleigh, where Beshara owned a corner grocery store, which he and Serina expanded into a restaurant business. The couple also owned a snack bar on South McDowell Street. Throughout this period, the Shehdans maintained close ties with Lebanese Americans throughout North Carolina, especially those from Hammana. They were especially close with the Baddour, Kannan, and Farfour families, and belonged to a social group called the Hammana Club. Also during this period the Shehdans purchased the Monticello Cafe on Fayetteville Street with Edgar Kannan. When Edgar left the business to open the Whispering Pines--one of the first drive-in restaurants in Raleigh--Beshara continued operating the cafe until his retirement in 1948 at age 60. Philip Shehdan declined to carry on the restaurant, and the cafe was sold around 1950. Beshara lived until 1975.</p>
<p>Philip Shehdan graduated from high school in 1945 and joined the Coast Guard on this 18th birthday. After his discharge, Philip studied mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University and obtained a certificate in diesel mechanics. He worked as a mechanic before attending hairdressing school. Through his career, he opened five hairdressing shops called Philip’s Hairstyling. In 1991, at age 65, he retired before going back to work for the State of North Carolina in the division of Services for the Blind. Philip married Alberta “Bertie” Baddour, a third-generation Lebanese American. She was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to parents Alice Hashem and Albert Baddour. Philip and Bertie met in 1958, married in July of 1959, and had two children together: Philip Shehdan, Jr., and David Shehdan.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs documenting the lives of Beshara and Serina Baddour and their children, a family tree, and legal documents.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Shehdan Family Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Beshara Shehdan Hatem was born in Hammana, Lebanon. He and his brother Shikery (Chick) immigrated to the United States as teenagers in the 1910s, first settling in Lawrence, Massachusetts, alongside relatives. In order to distinguish himself from other Hatems living in Lawrence, Beshara dropped his last name and began going by his first and middle names. The new surname "Shehdan" was passed down to his children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>From Massachusetts, Beshara and Shikery moved to North Carolina, where Beshara married Susie Smithie Barnhill. The brothers went into the dry-goods business in Greenville, NC before moving to Henderson, NC in the 1920s, where Beshara entered the restaurant business. Beshara and Susie had five children: two sons, Joseph and Linwood; and three daughters, Hazel, Helen, and Martha. Susie Barnhill Shehdan died in Henderson on November 2, 1920. Following her death, Beshara and Shikrey raised the children while continuing to build their restaurant and dry-goods businesses in Henderson.</p>
<p>Beshara met Serina Hakeem in the mid 1920s through a mutual friend, Mrs. Victoria Baddour of Greensboro, NC. Like Beshara, Serina had been born in Hammana, Lebanon. Following World War I, Serina’s father and two older brothers immigrated to the United States, settled in Princeton, NC, and worked as traveling salesmen. Serina stayed in Lebanon and attended school at a French convent. She taught French and English at the school to cover the cost of her board and education. After graduating, she joined her family in North Carolina. On November 19, 1924, Beshara and Serina married in St. Mary’s Church in Goldsboro, NC. They had five children: two sons, Philip and Frederick; and three daughters, Victoria, Theresa, and Evelyn.</p>
<p>In 1929, the Shehdan family moved to Raleigh, where Beshara owned a corner grocery store, which he and Serina expanded into a restaurant business. The couple also owned a snack bar on South McDowell Street. Throughout this period, the Shehdans maintained close ties with Lebanese Americans throughout North Carolina, especially those from Hammana. They were especially close with the Baddour, Kannan, and Farfour families, and belonged to a social group called the Hammana Club. Also during this period the Shehdans purchased the Monticello Cafe on Fayetteville Street with Edgar Kannan. When Edgar left the business to open the Whispering Pines--one of the first drive-in restaurants in Raleigh--Beshara continued operating the cafe until his retirement in 1948 at age 60. Philip Shehdan declined to carry on the restaurant, and the cafe was sold around 1950. Beshara lived until 1975.</p>
<p>Philip Shehdan graduated from high school in 1945 and joined the Coast Guard on this 18th birthday. After his discharge, Philip studied mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University and obtained a certificate in diesel mechanics. He worked as a mechanic before attending hairdressing school. Through his career, he opened five hairdressing shops called Philip’s Hairstyling. In 1991, at age 65, he retired before going back to work for the State of North Carolina in the division of Services for the Blind. Philip married Alberta “Bertie” Baddour, a third-generation Lebanese American. She was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to parents Alice Hashem and Albert Baddour. Philip and Bertie met in 1958, married in July of 1959, and had two children together: Philip Shehdan, Jr., and David Shehdan.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs documenting the lives of Beshara and Serina Baddour and their children, a family tree, and legal documents.</p>

Shehdan Family Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Beshara Shehdan Hatem was born in Hammana, Lebanon. He and his brother Shikery (Chick) immigrated to the United States as teenagers in the 1910s, first settling in Lawrence, Massachusetts, alongside relatives. In order to distinguish himself from other Hatems living in Lawrence, Beshara dropped his last name and began going by his first and middle names. The new surname "Shehdan" was passed down to his children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>From Massachusetts, Beshara and Shikery moved to North Carolina, where Beshara married Susie Smithie Barnhill. The brothers went into the dry-goods business in Greenville, NC before moving to Henderson, NC in the 1920s, where Beshara entered the restaurant business. Beshara and Susie had five children: two sons, Joseph and Linwood; and three daughters, Hazel, Helen, and Martha. Susie Barnhill Shehdan died in Henderson on November 2, 1920. Following her death, Beshara and Shikrey raised the children while continuing to build their restaurant and dry-goods businesses in Henderson.</p>
<p>Beshara met Serina Hakeem in the mid 1920s through a mutual friend, Mrs. Victoria Baddour of Greensboro, NC. Like Beshara, Serina had been born in Hammana, Lebanon. Following World War I, Serina’s father and two older brothers immigrated to the United States, settled in Princeton, NC, and worked as traveling salesmen. Serina stayed in Lebanon and attended school at a French convent. She taught French and English at the school to cover the cost of her board and education. After graduating, she joined her family in North Carolina. On November 19, 1924, Beshara and Serina married in St. Mary’s Church in Goldsboro, NC. They had five children: two sons, Philip and Frederick; and three daughters, Victoria, Theresa, and Evelyn.</p>
<p>In 1929, the Shehdan family moved to Raleigh, where Beshara owned a corner grocery store, which he and Serina expanded into a restaurant business. The couple also owned a snack bar on South McDowell Street. Throughout this period, the Shehdans maintained close ties with Lebanese Americans throughout North Carolina, especially those from Hammana. They were especially close with the Baddour, Kannan, and Farfour families, and belonged to a social group called the Hammana Club. Also during this period the Shehdans purchased the Monticello Cafe on Fayetteville Street with Edgar Kannan. When Edgar left the business to open the Whispering Pines--one of the first drive-in restaurants in Raleigh--Beshara continued operating the cafe until his retirement in 1948 at age 60. Philip Shehdan declined to carry on the restaurant, and the cafe was sold around 1950. Beshara lived until 1975.</p>
<p>Philip Shehdan graduated from high school in 1945 and joined the Coast Guard on this 18th birthday. After his discharge, Philip studied mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University and obtained a certificate in diesel mechanics. He worked as a mechanic before attending hairdressing school. Through his career, he opened five hairdressing shops called Philip’s Hairstyling. In 1991, at age 65, he retired before going back to work for the State of North Carolina in the division of Services for the Blind. Philip married Alberta “Bertie” Baddour, a third-generation Lebanese American. She was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to parents Alice Hashem and Albert Baddour. Philip and Bertie met in 1958, married in July of 1959, and had two children together: Philip Shehdan, Jr., and David Shehdan.</p>
<h4>Scope/Content Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains photographs documenting the lives of Beshara and Serina Baddour and their children, a family tree, and legal documents.</p>
