Hi Tina,
For certificates of people after 1850, you can go to the Dymarkaon or town hall, in Chora, and they will print the certificates out for you. I got several last summer. There is also a book available, all in Greek, that lists the births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths for everyone from Potamos from 1731-1856. I believe other churches have published similar books as well.
I have the Potamos book and I'm in California too. I grew up in Oakland but live in Modesto now. I'd be happy to look up some information for you. Please contact me at Vikki Vrettos Fraioli

Did you know we have a Kytherian Society of California? We'd love to have you join us. Check out our website at:

Thanks Vikki for the information. I was hoping to get birth certificates by mail. My grandparents originally came over in the early 1900's and opened a restaurant in Richmond California; they were born in 1890's. Is there any place I can write in Kythera?
