An account of the resource
نسخة من رسالة امين الريحاني الى جرجي باز في 24 ايار 1909*. يبعث الريحاني فيها تحياته واطيب تمنياته الى باز وعائلته. كما انه يعبر عن حالة السوريين في المهجر، اميركا، ويصف "انقسامهم" ليس الحزبي (السياسي) فقط ولكن الديني ايضا - او كما دعاه الرجوع الى "التعصب الديني". ويروي الريحاني ايضا انجازاته في الاعوام الماضية مثل زواجه من سيدة اميركية، وزيارته الى اوروبا 1916-1917 وطبعه كتابين هما "زنبقة الغور" و"خارج الحريم" واحداث اخرى.
* التاريخ الحقيقي على الرسالة هو 24 ايار 1919. ولكن نتيجة استخدام الماسح الابيض اختفى رقم السنة الحقيقي في الرسالة بطريق الخطأ.
A photocopy of a letter from Ameen Rihani to Jirji Baz, dated May 24, 1919. Rihani sends his greetings and best wishes to the Baz family. He expresses the situation of Syrians abroad in regard to politics and society, and describes them as "divided" not only according to political parties but also to sects - he calls it "Religious Sectarianism" or "Religious Intolerance". Rihani also tells Baz what he achieved for the last few years including his marriage to an American lady, his visit to Europe in 1916-1917 and publishing two of his books "Zanbaqat alGhor" (The Lily of the Ghor) and "Kharij Al-Hareem" (Out of the Harem) and other events.

An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>The Beirut Consolate Post Records Collection represents a selection of records from the United States Consulate in Beirut. In 2016, the Khayrallah Center digitized these records at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland while conducting research. The center targeted records pertaining to the World War I era and money (remittances) sent from immigrants in the United States to relatives in Lebanon, as well as correspondence from this time period. The center also digitized lists and records of passport applications from 1859-1939. </p>
<br />
<p>During the period covered by these records, the US Consulate in Beirut handled minor diplomatic matters such as issuing passports and visas, and serving the needs of American citizens residing in its jurisdiction through correspondence, inquiries, and assisting migrants, and tourists. The vast majority of the consulate’s records on American citizens refer to missionaries and emigrants who had become naturalized American citizens but returned to the Levant or required the consulate’s aid in communicating with relatives who remained there. </p>
<br />
<p>The original records are housed at National Archives II in College Park, Maryland. To learn more about Records of the Foreign Service Posts of the Department of State, see the National Archives’ description of <a href="https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/084.html">Record Group 84</a>. </p>
<br />

<h4>Scope/Contents Note</h4>
<p>During the time period covered, the general jurisdiction of the Beirut Consulate included the cities of Beirut, Damascus, Sidon, Tyre, Haifa, Acre, Safad, Tripoli, Latakia, Homs, Aleppo, Zahle, and Aintab and the surrounding countryside in areas within modern-day Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, and Southern Turkey among others. </p>
<br />
<p>The collection includes twenty-four books with records spanning the years 1859 to 1939. The bulk of the materials pertain to the years 1915 and 1916. </p>

The center targeted records pertaining to the World War I era and money (remittances) sent from immigrants in the United States to relatives in Lebanon, as well as correspondence from this time period. The center also digitized lists and records of passport applications from 1859-1939. </p>
<br />
<p>During the period covered by these records, the US Consulate in Beirut handled minor diplomatic matters such as issuing passports and visas, and serving the needs of American citizens residing in its jurisdiction through correspondence, inquiries, and assisting migrants, and tourists. The vast majority of the consulate’s records on American citizens refer to missionaries and emigrants who had become naturalized American citizens but returned to the Levant or required the consulate’s aid in communicating with relatives who remained there. </p>
<br />
<p>The original records are housed at National Archives II in College Park, Maryland. To learn more about Records of the Foreign Service Posts of the Department of State, see the National Archives’ description of <a href="https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/084.html">Record Group 84</a>. </p>

<h4>Scope/Contents Note</h4>

<br />
<p>The collection includes twenty-four books with records spanning the years 1859 to 1939. The bulk of the materials pertain to the years 1915 and 1916. </p>

Kahdy and Wehbie Family Papers
Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>Mike Mettrey (Mikail Mitri) Wehbie was born in Mt. Lebanon on August 8, 1888. His wife, Mary Nehra Wehbie of the Saliba family, was born in Mt. Lebanon on January 25, 1896. Mike Wehbie's family immigrated to the United States in the late 1800s; Mary immigrated in 1906. In the early 1920s, Mike, Mary, and their nine children moved to Bteghrine, Lebanon for three years, where the children attended a French school. Mike and Mary's children were Nell (Nellie) Mettrey Wehbie, William Mettrey, Helen Wehbie, Christmas Wehbie, Amelia Wehbie (Salem), Simon or Sam Wehbie, Margaret Wehbie (Saloom), Marie Wehbie (Mossberg), and Wehbie Mettrey Wehbie. After returning to the United States, the family moved from Elizabeth City, North Carolina to Raleigh, North Carolina. In Raleigh, Mike opened several businesses on Fayetteville Street, including the Log Cabin, which was a popular restaurant and tavern during World War II. </p>
<p>Nell (Nellie) Mettrey Wehbie was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on April 30, 1916 to Mike and Mary Wehbie. She graduated From Meredith College in 1938 with a teaching degree and concentrations in English and Foreign Languages. George Kahdy was born in Baskinta, Lebanon on October 6, 1921. George and his parents, Adma Sawaya and Asaf (Assif) George Kahdy, immigrated to the United States when he was 18 months old. George had four sisters: Afifi (Adele), Genee (Janette), Sally, and Virginia. George was raised in Macon, Georgia and attended the Lanier School for Boys where he participated in ROTC. He spent one year at Georgia Tech before volunteering as a buck private in the 30th Infantry Division of the United States Army in 1940. George worked at Fort Jackson, South Carolina training draftees, became a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps, and taught graduate pilots gunnery and fighter tactics at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.</p>
<p>In 1944, George met Nell Wehbie through his parents, who were friends of Mike and Mary. At the time, Nell was working as a high school teacher in Warsaw, North Carolina. She also worked for the Red Cross in Washington D.C., where she lived with her sister, Amelia, and Amelia's husband, Joe Salem. On July 9, 1944, Nell and George married at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh. While George was stationed at Eglin, the couple lived in Milton, Florida. They had their first child, Barbara, on July 14, 1945. On January 16, 1948, they had twins George and Georgette.</p>
<p>The family moved to Knightsdale, North Carolina, where Nell acquired a teaching job and George attended Wake Forest University under the G.I. Bill. After graduating, George taught math and science at Needham Broughton High School, where Nell taught language courses. Nell was honored in the 1950s and 1960s by the American Foreign Language Association as one of the top high school teachers in the United States. While teaching, both Nell and George earned Master's degrees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1956, Nell received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Goethe Institute in Munich, Germany for the summer. Through the American Institute of Foreign Studies, she led students and teachers on trips to England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Spain for 25 summers. George served as principal of various schools for 13 years, including during the period of school integration. He went on to hold various governmental positions related to education. </p>
<p>Nell passed away in July 2015 and George in September 2023. Barbara Kahdy Estes started a physical therapy practice in Atlanta before moving to the North Carolina mountains. George Kahdy Jr. became a veterinarian and founded a veterinary practice near Raleigh. Georgette Kahdy Stone taught French and Spanish and lives in Charleston, South Carolina.</p>
