Does anyone have connections to Stefanos Leonidas who arrived on the ship Nera 1914, or in fact anyone who arrived on the Nera.

Presto,
Please give me the name of Stefanos' wife and any other family details you have. It is possible that there are references to this individual in the dowry archive.

Nicholas thank you, details I have are as follows.
Stefanos Leonidas married Eleni Zorbas 14th Feb 1915 Kastelorizo. He is the son of Louis and Anastasia Leonidas and she is the daughter of Peter and Mary Zorbas, I have no idea what became of the parents.
Regards

Presto,
I have located the dowry contract for this marriage.
Curiously, the groom's name is recorded as 'Stefanos Hatzileontidou', though he has signed his name 'Stefanos Hatzileontiou'. The bride is described as Eleni Panagiotou Zorba.
The contract is dated 18 January 1914 and it states that the wedding was to take place "the following day", ie 19 January 1914. Among the gifts given to the groom is a house in the Mandraki area. The witnesses to the signatures are Nikolaos Spartalis and Nikolaos Karlos.
Let me know if you would like a copy sent to you.
Nicholas

Nicholas, you have shocked me re the surname but this would account perhaps for not finding his name on the shipping list of the Nera. Yes I would like a copy, please advise cost etc. Regards

Presto,
No cost - e-mail me via the website 'contact' page with your details and I'll post you a copy for you to enjoy with your family.
In return, if you have any original photographs that precede your grandparents' departure from Castellorizo, I'd love to hear about them and what they depict.
Nicholas
