Syria

I added categories for Palestinians and Jordanians because "Syria" once referred to Ottoman Syria which included Palestine and Jordan. Some of the "Syrians" living in New York were from what is now Jordan and the Palestinian territories. User:Alansohn, I added those categories based on this link which mentions that some of the "Syrians" were from what is now Jordan and Palestine and that some of the Melkites living in the neighborhood were Palestinians. Would the categories be fine if more information was added to the article first? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 00:39, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Ottoman Empire was broken up after World War I, so by 1925, when the building was converted into a church "Syrian" would have primarily referred to the French Mandate, which did not include Palestine or Transjordan. BMK (talk) 00:53, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
