Where and who are my relatives? Additional information....

submitted by Laura Pavlou-Mudie on 15.03.2009

Hi everybody. My Grandmother, Marietta Logothetis, only child of Minas and Katerina Logothetis of Logothetianica, Kythera. I have no information about Katerina, except to say that her father was a ship's captain and her mother was an Italian from Naples. I think that she too, came from Kythera. Any information is gratefully received. I live in England. Regards, Laura

PS Minas Logothetis was born around 1846 and, certainly,as an adult, had a factory in Pireaus that processed waste material from the dock areas (for purposes unknown) where he lived with his family. We are led to believe that the family built a church in Logothetianica. Anyone know of and about him, his life and his relatives?

You might want to try Telemachos Combes. He has done quite a bit of research on familiea from Logothetianica.
He has a web site and a contact see; http://tilemachos.com/my_newpersonal.htm

Hi James, I have just checked out the website of Telemachos Combes, and have many names in common, but all attempts to contact him on the email address on his home page have failed. What do I need to do to contact him?

Thanks James,
I've been in touch Telemachos and he's been very helpful! Hopefully, someone will see my plea for information and will contact me. Regards, Laura

Hi Gaye, I contacted Telemachos about a month ago and had no difficulty in raising a reply at that time. As I said, I'm hoping to obtain information from a number of different quarters and posted a message in the hope that someone might recognise the names. My grandmother must have had many relatives and I am aware of none of them, except a woman called Alkioni Combis, a cousin, who married a judge and lived in the Dodecanis somewhere. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will see this message and respond. Regards, Laura.

Managed to get my message through afterall, and would encourage anyone who has Andronicos ancestors from the area between Logotheticanica and Potamos to log onto the following page compiled by Telemachos Coombes:
