I'm not sure that the Khoury that you are looking for is related, but my Grandfather on my Mothers side was named Nashem Koury. He went by Charles, or Charlie N. Coray. He had a brother named Hatem who lived in the Mercer Island area of Seattle, and he changed his name to Hary Koury. . So Charles, or Nashem Coray arrived in Los Angeles,by way of Massachusettes, and Hatem, or Harry arrived in Washington State in the U.S. by way of Massachusettes. Hary or Hatem and my Grandfather wrestled bears to earn money before they were marred and had children. My husband is from Melbourne Australia, and has an Aunt in Connecticut that has been living here for 40 years.
