Hi Connie, I've only just now seen your post. Did you have any luck locating your grandfather's former home? My husband's grandfather was Theodoros Pastos (b 1861) and as far as I know the family came from Milopotamos. Susan Dritsas

Hi Susan, Yes, I found the home and enjoyed the visit. How were Theodoros and my grandfather, Vasilios, related? From what I found on Ancestry, Vasilios had 7 siblings but none were named Theodoros. Connie Pastos Rogers

Hi Connie, it's possible that Theodoros and Vasilios are distantly related as they have the same surname, Pastos, but I don't know where the connection is. Interestingly, the name Pastos is apparently a nickname, as the original family name was Koroneos (meaning one who comes from Koroni on the southern coast of the Peloponnese). It was very common in Kythera for a nickname to be adopted as the family name. If you want to trace your family history on the island, I suggest you contact the Kytherian Genealogy Project https://www.kytheriangenealogy.com. According to Ancestry, I see your Vasilios married a Gregoria Malanos. Interestingly, Theodoros's older brother, Iakovos (b 1859), married a Kerana Malanou on 16/2/1900 in Milopotamos. She was the daughter of Georgios and Eleni Malanos, so perhaps we have a connection there too!

Hi all. Yes my grandfather Nicholas John Andronicos's mother was Effrosini Pastos and father John nicholas andronicos. Her brother was Vasilios who married malanos. Effrosini had 7 siblings. Her parents wee panagioti and anitsa kominou and panagiotis parents were anagnosti and stamata leontsini. No theodoros coming up in my tree. Yes the family home is in milopotamos past the town centre to the right above the mill. Its a small 2 storey property. They also owned land on the hill which was passed to the andronicos side. My grandfather nicholas owned the ground floor of the house and gave it to his mothers brother (george or Bill in US) i believe Happy to share my tree via email Nicholas_andronicos@hotmail.com The anagnosti line- the one child of anagnosti married into kritikos Another of effrosinis siblings married in US into Eitry and Boutselos
