Do any of you have any information about this situation ?
Do you know which, if any, archive in Greece has a set of the LDS microfilms ?

LDS Records from Greece - Now or Never?
There is a lot of talk in the genealogy blogs about the end of
microfilm manufacturing. You might think that is okay, but what about
the records that were microfilmed years ago by the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormans). These microfilm rolls are
archived and available for you to order and have sent to either a
local LDS Family History Center or if you live in the U.S., a local
affiliated public library.
The issue is that when an order comes in for the loan of a microfilm
roll, the original is copied, and the copy is sent to the library for
your use (this is my understanding of the process). If new microfilm
manufacturing is halted, how much longer can this loan process last?
They are in the process of converting much of their microfilm into
digital files available for access online. The Greek records, however,
are not on the list for near term conversion. I believe that is due
to a lack of interest in viewing these records by those of us
researching our Greek family history.
If you are interested, visit their website at
FamilySearch.org - search in the subject area for Greece. They have
very clear directions on how to order microfilm.
