These ladies were my grandmothers. I know little about them although they lived with us when I was young. My yiayia Zafeira was born in Kalamaki, Turkey.
Does anyone have any information about my grandparents?
Despina Matsos (nee Passaris)

Despina,
Welcome to this Forum.
To assist us, can you please provide their full names, ie their maiden names, if known, and their husbands' first names (which would have been their middle name after marriage).
Thanks,
Nicholas

Thankyou, Nicholas, for your quick response. My grandmother Zafeira was married to Lazarus. They called themselves "Passa", but since they lived in Turkey, there is some doubt as to the name.
My grandmother Despina was married to Stavros Passaris.
I don't know anything else. My father's brother George married Panayiota Barbouttis and my other uncle,Eric, married Katina Kazaglis.

Since my last post, I found some answers to my questions about my grandmother, Despina. Her mother was Despina, too, but there is no surname on your Genealogy website, I assume since there are no records. It seems strange that my grandmother should have the same name as her mother, and was an only child: can I assume my great grandmother therefore died in childbirth? Also, my grandfather's mother was also despins, Despina Lepete. What is the ethnic origin of Lepete?
