My name is Anita Martin, I am Searching for info. re my Kytheran Grandfather.
In my endevour to procure my grandfathers birth certificate I am also trying to find the name of the town on Kythera where he and his family lived. His name was Spero Jim katsoulis.Born 1890 . He arrived in Aust. in march 1908/9 later followed by two of his brothers, Peter Demetrios and Theo. Peter spent some of his earlier years at coonabaraban, but Theo and Spero remained in Sydney where Spero worked at the Athenian club as a waiter for many years until his death in 1956. One of my earliest memories is of going there with him when we visited him in Sydney from vic. where we lived.Some of his other siblings were Stathis, Stamatoula(I believe maried John Bavea) and Efterpi. His parents who remained in Kythera were Jim(probably Demetrios) Spero and Stephanoola.( I would also like to know her maiden name.)Grand father refered to many people in aust as his cousins so I am very hopefull there will be someone who remembers him either here of on his beloved Kythera.I enjoy many hours searching your wonderful K F net, site and look forward to a reply.
