It's said there are two kinds of people, those who are Greek and those who want to be! I'm one of the latter. At least my name Philip resonates Greek! Have not yet made it to Kythera, although visited and enjoyed sites, life and culture of mainland Greece and many islands. Came across the story of Kythera in the Vancouver Sun Travel section. Fascinating and brilliant web-site. Congratulations to Kytherans and Kytheran-lover-webmasters for saving historical Kythera for all who love Greece. Now I'm heading across the street to Manolis Taverna to ask Tassos if he is a Kytheran.

contactrebecca messina - Woodbridge, Virginia

contactConnie Tziolis - Australia
My brother told me about this site. The Tziolis farm mentioned in the early 1940's was papu's parents (Christos Tziolis) farm. It was interesting to read about it having heard about the farm from Papu. If anyone else has any other stories from then, I'd love to hear as Papu has passed away and we have no-one to tell us about our heritage.
contactTed Panaretos - Jupiter,Fl. U.S.
My people left Kythera and went to Smyrna. My grandfather Theodore was in the wine, ouzo and brandy distilling business. My father Minas left after 1920 for Istanbul, Marsailes, Tampico then the U.S. He last had a restaurant in Detroit seating 500. 10 years after he passed away I opted out and went back to Law School. I guess I'm sort of retired at 76.

Spyro Calocerinos(Kalokairinos) - Sydney Australia
This site would have to be one of the most important deeds by any Kytherian.The new generation ask questions daily about their ancestors and the island history.This site also gives them the opporunity to undestand and learn the Kytherian culture. Great site by great Kytherians. Bravo!!!

contactSteve Fatseas - Everett, WA USA
This is such a great site!! I am finding out more and more information about my ancestors every day. Keep up the great work.
Details: My Papou's name was Eugene Fatseas and I believe his fathers name was Nikolaos Fatseas. My Yia-Yia's name was Maria. I'm not sure of her maiden name yet. I believe both Papou and Yia-Yia were born in 1880. I also do not know the town of origin. They had 4 children, Nicolaos (1904), Dimitrios (1905), Helen (1915), and Anastasia (Daisy-1916). Both Nicolaos and Dimitrios were born in Smyrna. They emigrated to the USA on the Themistocles on July 9, 1914. Helen and Daisy were born in the USA. I am researching more information regarding my ancestors so if you have ANY information, please feel free to contact me.
