This group photograph was given to me by my uncle Manuel Belos Coroneos. I cannot place any of the faces. Can anyone help?
Two young mates from Karavas, Manuel (Belos) Coroneos & Vangelli (Hlihlis) Tzortzopoulos. Manuel was the youngest son of long time mayor Triunduphilos Coroneos, and Georgia (nee, Mentis.) Evangelos, known as Vangelli, was the son of Haralambos Tzortzopoulos, and Panayota (nee, Vangis.) Both were in their teens at the time this photograph was taken. As destiny would have it Haralambos's brother; my father, Con(standinos) (Tzortzo)Poulos, ...

[In the photograph above, the portrait of my grandmother has been superimposed next to the portrait of my grandfather. My grandfather never knew my grandmother - at the age she is portrayed in this photograph. The reason will become obvious if you proceed to read their life stories below. The picture represents the idealised relationship between the two, from my grandmother's perspective.] Yeoryi Dimitri Tzortzopoulos was born in Karavas in the 1870's. His parachoukli ...

Yeoryi Dimitri Tzortzopoulos was born in Karavas in c. 1869. His parachoukli was Hlihlis; not to be confused with the soi, Yeoryopoulos, Ayia Pelagia, who share the same nickname.

Three died during the birth of the first 3-4 surviving children, whilst Georgia, the last born, ...

Harry is the strong young man in the centre. He would have been about 19-20 years of age at the time. I include this photograph because a number of Kytherians would have worked on such boats prior to WWII. It would be interesting to see photographs of those boats, etc etc. The whole "sea" culture that derives from being a small isolated island has barely been explored at kythera-family to date (Oct, 2004). Another entry at History, ...
Harry Aliferis is on the extreme right, top row. Yannis (John) Aliferis is in the centre of the front row. Two years later, Harry would migrate to Australia. I am uncertain as to when Yanni migrated. Another entry at History, subsection, Archives/Research outlines a brief biography of Harry Aliferis: "Born: 13.11.1914, Lahi, Greece Wife, Maria (nee, Dermatis), from Neapolis. [Both villages located in Southern ...
Two years later, Harry would migrate to Australia. [I include this entry for the tangential reason that a number Kytherians a. joined the Navy as a means of obtaining good, steady employment b. found their way to Australia, by virtue of being with the Navy - military or merchant. Do you have photographs of fathers, uncles, grandfather's - during their navy service?] An entry at History, subsection, Archives/Research ...

Michael was born in Symi 1912 while the island was still Italian, therefore arrived in Australia with an Italian passport. He was my wife's (Sadie's) father. Died 18/12/1961 in Sydney. Was a professional fisherman. Had many friends in the Immigration Department and assisted scores of Greeks coming to Australia working on ships, then "jumping" ship. He managed to get permits for them as well as passports later. He had many Kytherian friends.

This photo was held by Pipitsa Semitecolos nee Kalokairinou(Calocerinos) from Hora.It is possible that the girl on the left was Pipitsa,but I never knew her until I met her in Sydney in 1950,so I can't recognise any of them. Can anyone please add to this?
