Evdokia & Tzimenda,
The dowry archive reveals that the parents of Manolis, Konstandinos & Anastasia (nee Hatzikoinia), married on the island on 30 December 1917.
The 1947 census records that they were living on the island at that time with sons Vasilios (b. 1919) and Manolis (b. 1933). Also living on the island was eldest son Nikolaos with his own family (wife Evangelia and children Konstandinos & Dimitrios).
Please reply on this thread if you seek further information.

Paula,
Do you know the approximate date of your great grandparents' marriage? And are you able to give me their children's names in birth order? And do you know if Evangelia had any siblings and what their names were?
This information will enable me to look more deeply into your request. While I do not think that our two families are necessarily connected, you never know what further investigation might reveal.
Papaefstathiou was a surname on the island in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Like my family's name, it was derived from the name of a priest, in this case 'Efstathios'. 'Stathis' is a common shortening of Efstathios so I would guess that your great grandmother's maiden name (Papastathiou) can be traced to one of your ancestors with this name, probably, as you say, Evangelia's grandfather.
In the dowry archive, the name 'Papaefstathiou' appears three times for three different brides. Each one is called 'Maria' and they appear to have been first cousins who married between 1901 and 1907. Interestingly, the fathers of two of them are named 'Pantelis' and 'Efstathios' respectively.

The Papanastasiou family of Castellorizo, from which I originate on my late father's side, can be traced back to a priest by the name of Anastasios who lived on the island in the period before and immediately after the Greek Revolution (1821-1828).
As is common with families connected to a member of the priesthood, Anastasios' family became known as 'tou Papa Anastasi' and, more formally, 'Papanastasiou' - in other words, 'the family of the priest Anastasios'. The family was also known by the nickname 'tou Mourelou'.
From what we know to date, Anastasios had at least three children with his wife Maria. One son, Yeorgios, married a Triantafylia ('Papadia') Efstathiou in around 1860. Another son, Kyriakos, settled in Alexandria.
The third child we know of, a daughter Christina (b. 1827), was twice married. While we do not know the identity of her first husband, we do know that her second spouse was Vasilios Efstathiou Atzemis (who was also previously married) and that she, in turn, bore three children to him - Anastasios (who married Despina Alexandrou Tsakouni), Evangelia (who married Iakovos Yeronikolas) and Ioannis ('Mavroukos') who married Despina Economou Palassi. Christina died aged 95 on 13 August 1922.
The priest's first son, Yeorgios, had two boys and three girls. The first son, Anastasios, married Maria Mihail Malli (a priest's daughter), and their offspring settled in Perth in the 1930s. The other son, Nikolaos (my grandfather), married twice. His first wife, Anna Efstathiou Atzemi, died in 1918 soon after the birth of their first child. His second wife, my grandmother, Triantafylia Stam. Stamatiou, bore him another six children, including my late father. All settled in Sydney after the Second World War.
The three daughters of Yeorgios suffered very different fates: the eldest, Maria, married Markos Perounis. She was one of the island's midwives until her death in 1938. The second, Evangelia, married Andreas Andreou and bore only one child - a daughter Evdokia who resides to this day in Perth (now Irini Stratikis). Evangelia was to drown in the Empire Patrol tragedy in September 1945. The youngest daughter, Anna, married Yeorgios K Protomastorou, but died leaving two infant children during the flu epidemic that struck the island in August 1918.
If anyone would like to share information about their connections with the Papanastasiou clan, they should not hesitate to get in touch via this Forum.
Nicholas (Pappas, Papanastasiou)

John,
Thank you for the interesting account of your mother's family.
The census taken on the island on 19 October 1947 records two entries in the name 'Nikolakis' and they read (verbatim) as follows:
Nikolakis, Yeorgios Nikolaos/Evdokia 1885 Nikolakis, Marina Yeorgios/Garyfalia 1926
The two names separated by the / are their parents' names, while the year is their year of birth.
Was your mother known as 'Marina' when she was young, or is that a typist's error? And do you know why she was recorded as having been born in 1926?
I can't find any record of your grandparents' marriage in the dowry archive. Is it possible that your grandfather used another surname when he married? And do you know your grandmother's maiden name?
The name 'Nikolaki' is the diminutive of 'Nikolaos' and probably derived from Yeorgios' father. So it does seem possible that they were known by another surname. Another possibility is that they were married in Anatolia and moved to the island after their marriage. Do you know if this might be correct?
I'll keep an eye out for more material. In the meantime, it is possible that others on this Forum may have more information.

Here is an exchange that occurred under the 'Welcome' thread. It is reproduced here for ease of reference:
Hi my name is Samantha Kootsookos, my paternal grandfather was Jack Kootsookos from Castelorizo... I think he left in the early 1900's for Far North Qld... the history is a bit sketchy... he married an aussie and they had a daughter & two sons: Christina, Anthony(Tony) & my dad - Victor... they've all passed on now....but it's interesting for me to see this website... I'm not aware of any Greek relatives although I'm sure I have many as I believe my grandfather had 6 sisters...if you think we may be related i'd love to hear from you...cheers sam
Sam,
From the record search I have quickly done with National Archives (www.naa.gov.au), it appears that there are at least three files on your grandfather, who is described as 'Jack Antoniou Kootsookos', in their holdings.
The first two are his alien registration files from the WWI period when all 'aliens' were required to go through a cumbersome registration process that monitored their movements in the Commonwealth. His first place of registration is recorded in the index as Paraparap in the Northern Territory.
The third file is his naturalisation file from around 1922.
You can order copies of these three files by visiting the website. They may be ordered in digital or hard copy format. They should provide you with a lot of new information about your grandfather's early days in Australia.
I'll also check to see if there are any records of your family in the dowry archive.
Nicholas
Nicholas , isnt Kootsookas an alternative for Koutsoukos or anglisation of it.
regards George
George,
Yes, it is - there are so many ways to transliterate Greek names into English that variations such as this one were inevitable.
What is clear here is that the variant 'Kootsookos' was used by this particular Castellorizian from the moment of his arrival, probably because the officer writing the name down on arrival thought such a spelling closest to what he heard. Alternatively, and depending on the travel document he was presented with (if any), the spelling could have its origins in its place of issue.
Perhaps Sam could tell us more when she accesses the files?
I will open a separate thread for Koutsoukos/Kootsookos to encourage others to contribute.

Xanthis
Oct 1, 2007 11:10:59 GMT 10
Post by Administrator on Oct 1, 2007 11:10:59 GMT 10
Allan,
Here are the Xanthis entries in the dowry archive (in chronological order). The dates are the dates of the contracts, not the weddings:
Xanthi Zafiriou Yeorgiou Xanthi - Savvas Argyrou K Berberis, 5 January 1901
Yeorgios Zafiriou Xanthis - Xeni K Kantzipa, 31 January 1901
Emanuel Vasiliou Xanthis - Eleni Hatziagapitou Hatsatouri, 31 January 1903
Yeorgios Zafiriou Xanthis - Konstandina N Voskou, 10 December 1903
Evangelos Vasiliou Xanthis - Krystalla M Th Pengli, 14 April 1906
Agapitos Zafiriou Xanthis - Eleni I A Pitsika, 9 February 1911
Anastasia Zafiriou Xanthi - Agapitos Sp Karasavas, 11 February 1911
Xanthi N Xanthi - Paraskevas D Tsakalos, 11 January 1913
Emanuel Xanthis - Chrisfina Fotiou Sergis, 7 December 1914
Nikolaos Vasiliou Xanthis - Anastasia Ag Hatzidoulou Komninou, 25 February 1924 (married Piraeus, 1922)
Florentia Nikolaou Xanthi - Ioannis Panteli Taifallos, 10 October 1924
Sion Nikolaou Xanthi - Asimina Kom I Tsopani, 19 January 1925
So, Allan, that is every entry under Xanthis or Xanthi (female version). If you want copies of any of these, let me know.
In relation to your specific questions about Emanuel Xanthis, he is represented personally in the document and appears to sign as Emanuel V Xanthis, so I would assume that he is the same EVX as the first one appearing in the list above. This accords with a separate (contemporary) list of marriages that I have which records the later wedding as Emanuel's 'second marriage'. Unusually, the wedding happened on the same day as the dowry contract was signed.
In relation to Yeorgios Zafiriou Xanthis, you will see that there are two marriages. I doubt that the first one actually eventuated given its closeness in time to the second marriage, though it is possible. Maybe someone out there knows? What is interesting is that the first name of the bride appears correct, but not the surname. This is probably because the name in the contract, Voskou (meaning 'shepherd'), was the paratsoukli (nickname) of the family you have referred to.
In summary, therefore, I think that all these members of the Xanthis family are connected. I would posit the guess that Zafirios, Vasilios and Nikolaos were all brothers (all sons of Yeorgios) and that the individuals above are their respective children.

Fred, With the permission of Cressie, I am posting here a copy of his recent e-mail to you for the benefit of others interested in the Mouglalis family: Greetings again Fred in France
I hope this email finds you well and that you are able to read this email. Your English is far better than my French!
I summarise what I have from various people and sources about your family supplied by you, Nicholas Pappas (of NSW), Eveline Mouglalis (of NSW), Michel Mouglalis (of QLD) and Nicholas Malaxos (of NSW).
I attach an obituary for Nicholas Mouglalis of Perth Western Australia. He was the son of Mihalis Nicolas Mouglalis and Olga Pipazari, both of Castellorizo. As the obituary tells Olga died as a young wife and Mihalis joined his brothers in France and remarried, leaving his son, Nicholas in Castellorizo. I know nothing further re Mihalis and his new family in France.
One of the elder brothers of Mihalis, Emmanuel Nicolas Mouglalis, later migrated to Australia with his wife (Evangelia Malaxos) and family and there are many descendants in Australia from this family (information from Eveline and Michel). A photo taken in France of this family is at: www.castellorizo.org/showmedia.php?mediaID=531&medialinkID=742 This was supplied to me by Nicholas Malaxos.
From the initial information I have of your family (supplied by you and Nicholas Pappas) your great grandfather, Alexandros Nikolaou Emmanuel Mouglalis married Chrisafina Kazagli. He would be a brother to Mihalis and Emmanuel mentioned above. You have posted a photograph of that family on the CastellorizoHistory website and from that photo I guess that Sophie, Marie, Constantine and Michel are the children of Alexandros and Chrisafina. The Emile Theologos and his children in the photo would be the family of either Sophie or Marie. Could you tell me who is the wife?
Also you advise that your grandfather is Kostas Mouglalis. Is he the Constantine (for Costas?) in the photo? This photo is at: castellorizo.proboards59.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1190369168
There is a fourth brother of Mihalis, Emmanuel and Alexandros but I do not know who he is or anything on his family. Perhaps you or Nicholas Pappas know who he is?
I look forward to your email and what information you have on your family. Who were the children of Costas?
I have sent this email to others in Australia who are associated with the Mouglalis family.
Best wishes Allan (Agapitos) Cresswell Western Australia

Thanks to the generosity of Fred Mouglalis, please see below a photograph from c.1930 of the family of Alexandros Mouglalis (one of the 5 Mouglalis brothers who migrated to France from Castellorizo) in Marseilles, France. The photo is reproduced a second time below with the names of all who appear in it. Nicholas

Fred,
I have located the dowry contract of your great grandparents Alexandros (Alexandre) and Chrisafina.
It is dated 16 January 1906 and written in the Greek language. Your great grandfather is described as 'Alexandros Nikolaou Emmanuel Mouglalis' while your great grandmother ('Chrisafina K Kazagli') is represented by her brother Paraskevas.
The purpose of the dowry contract was to record the date and place of the proposed marriage and to list the gifts to be given by way of dowry by the bride's side. In this case, there is a reference to a house on Castellorizo, another plot of land on the island and 50 eikosafranga which were 20 franc gold coins "counted into the hands of the groom".
The document says that the wedding was to take place in Kalamaki before the Apokries festival which is the last date on which meat may be eaten before Easter fasting. So the wedding must have occurred sometime between February and May 1906 in Kalamaki.
I would be happy to send you a copy if you want to see it. Please let me know.
Nicholas

Dear Fred,
The Mouglalis family (also spelt and pronounced 'Moulalis') originates from Mugla in Anatolia (modern Turkey). They settled on Castellorizo in the middle of the nineteenth century, but most retained commercial and familial connections with their home town until the compulsory exchange of populations after 1922 when contact between the island and the mainland all but ceased.
The Mouglalis brothers migrated to France during the First World War (when the island was under French occupation) and some settled in Nantes. A branch of their descendants ultimately settled in Australia after the Second World War and there is a large presence in Sydney.
I should be able to trace specific information about your grandfather from my archive. I will let you know in coming days.

Further to the above posts, here is a recently-located photograph of some of the Greeks (predominantly Castellorizians) of Port Pirie in c. 1934. The photograph has been taken outside the Greek Orthodox Church of St George and includes the then Archbishop of Australia, Timotheos, and local priest Germanos Iliou. Around them are members of the Port Pirie community and their families. I am led to believe that the photo includes members of the Kiosoglou and Kambouris families, among others. Nicholas

Delighted to hear that you are the great grandson of Stavros Haratsis whom I have referred to above.
I'd be happy to send you a copy of your great grandparents' dowry contract from April 1923. If you'd care to become a member of this Forum and supply your e-mail and other details (the e-mail may remain hidden, if you prefer), I will send it to you.
By the way, Castellorizian tradition provided that houses on the island were passed from mother to daughter on marriage, not from father to son.
I will also start a new thread on the Genealogy page under 'Haratsis'. Let's see what that elicits.

Allan,
This makes for fascinating reading. When time permits, it would be great to see all the results of your research into Port Pirie.
The dowry archive contains a few references to Castellorizian males living in Port Pirie. For example, in April 1923, Stavros M Haratsis was betrothed to Konstandinia D Passari while he was "temporarily residing" in Port Pirie. In the same month, Alexandros Harmanis was betrothed to Evangelia M Komninou while also working there. There are other examples.
I would not be surprised if other references you have found will connect with entries in the dowry archive.

One of our members, Saint Simian, wrote as follows in the Kavouras/Beigeorgis/Lefkaritis thread: I'm descended from the Karpouzises, the earliest of whom I have in my database is Konstandinos Karpouzis (b.1803), who married Asimina Anastasa (1815-1905). I'm descended from their son Evstratios Karpouzis (1852-1897).
Try as I might, I can't link your Kristalla Karpouzis (whose father was Anastasis Karpouzis) into my tree. Kastelorizo is such a small island that it would be perverse for these two Karpouzis families not to be related. I don't suppose anyone has more information on the very early Karpouzises? Or on how these two branches might be related?The dowry archive records the following Karpouzis weddings in the period 1895-1930 (the dates are the dowry contract dates): - Rina Efstratiou Karpouzi & Theodoros Christou, 8 October 1896
- Ioannis K Karpouzis & Aikaterini N Stamboulli, 22 March 1907
- Stergos Panagiotou & Irini K I Karpouzi, 22 May 1908
- Konstandinos K Kouvanides & Yeorgia Efstratiou Karpouzi, 5 May 1915
- Spyros Efstratiou Karpouzis & Chrysi Paraskeva Yiorgi, 9 May 1916
If anyone seeks more information on these marriages, they should post their questions here. Nicholas

In reply to a query from a new member, ssirris, the marriage of Pavlos Yeorgiou Kiozelis and Asimina Yeorgiou D. Omerou is recorded in a testimonial dated 31 January 1913 of the parish priest Vartholomeos Pissas.

Allan,
I'm sure that there are others who know more, but I can add the following information:
Aikaterini (Katina) Yeorgiou Alexiou (also known as Tsopani) married Yeorgios Hatzitheodorou Hatzistatoglou (now known as Theodore) on 15 April 1911.
They had at least 6 children. I believe (though I stand to be corrected) that the youngest child was your aunt Angela. Katina's brother was Vasilios Alexiou, who married Panagiota Christofi Liondi on 4 October 1925. This is where your connection with Bill stems from.
The Alexiou/Tsopani family has an interesting history. Katina's father, Yeorgios (he was nicknamed 'o Tsopanis') was one of at least 7 children. The eldest, Alexios, drowned while fishing. Another son, Ioannis (nicknamed 'o Hochlastos') owned the leasehold over a lake near Myra in Turkey which he exploited profitably for fishing. His descendants are in Victoria. A younger son, Stamatis, was a priest on the island and took on the name 'Simeon'. He married Alexandra Grigoriou and they had 2 children. He died in 1929 and is buried in the monastery of Aghia Triadha on the island. His descendants (the Symons & Diamandis families) are predominantly in Victoria and Queensland.
There were also two at least 2 daughters (Despina & Dionysia) and another son, Savvas, who also drowned.
If anyone requires more information, they should not hesitate to contact me.

Bill,
Are you able to give me more details about your grandmother?
For example, when precisely was she born? If she was born around 1911, does she have any memories of the French on the island? She would have been 10 years old when they left, so I don't expect her to recall a lot. Nevertheless, any reminiscences would be helpful.
And what are her memories of the Italians after 1921?
Finally, when did she leave the island, and in what circumstances?
If your grandmother is happy, and well enough, to be interviewed formally, please also let me know. I'd be delighted to meet her.

Which Irini Passaris are you referring to? As the Passaris clan is quite large, there was/is more than one Castellorizian woman with that name.
Please give me her full maiden name and her husband's name and I'll see what I can find.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Levis - re Palassis
I have been in contact over the years with a woman from Seattle WA USA who is a Palassis descendant. She is an actress and performs in plays etc. Her name is Angelique Neketas and if you contact me privately I can give you her email address or yours to her. She told me her real surname is Palassis and most of her male family members in US are Greek Orthodox Priests. There is (was) a Father Neketas S. Palassis in USA who I suspect is her father or grandfather as she now uses that Christian name as her surname.
At the time of correspondence I was supplying family history info to her on the AUS Palassis lines and was not seeking info from her on the US family. She is interested in her ancestry and I am sure she will share what she knows with you. She also mentioned that some of the Palassis family went to Brazil.
I did email her with details of this forum but am unsure if she subscribed or not.
Hope this helps.........Allan

Milli,
I can add a little to your current information on this one.
In 1923, Ioannis & Pavlos gave their house in the Ayios Nikolaos area and their land (in the Mandraki) to their aunt Evangelia by way of "repayment for her care and upbringing" of them and by virtue of the fact that they did not have a sister. Evangelia was living in the house at the time and I understand that she resided there with her husband Michalis until her death in 1930.
In 1936, Michalis sold the block of land in the Mandraki to the municipality.
This information is derived from a copy of a dilosis dated 29 January 1923 that I have in my possession, which appends two letters written by Pavlos from Marseilles in late 1922. There is an annotation from 1936 about the transfer of the land to the municipality.
Let me know if you would like any further details or if you would like to see copies of the documents.

Milli,
While the marriage of Mihail and Evangelia is not reflected in a dowry contract that I can locate in the relevant period, I have found a reference to their wedding in a copy of a logbook of weddings which was held by the then head-priest, Theodosios Simonides.
The date of the wedding is stated to be 25 June 1916.
The precise text of the brief entry may be translated to read as follows:
No. 188: By consequence of a written surety of the parish priest the celebration of marriage was permitted in respect of Mihail Paldiris with Evangelia P. Dekaristou, both marrying for the first time.
25 June 1916, Castellorizo The Episcopal Guardian, Very Rev Theodosios Simonides
I hope this helps.

Phyllys,
I have recently stumbled upon some French exit records from Castellorizo that date back to the exodus of the locals after the bombardments in early 1917.
Among them is a short reference to Papadia Kafkaloudis' application to depart the island (dated 15 May 1917) to travel to Port Said where she was to meet up with Ioannis Lazos (described as 'Jean Loxos', who was then working for the Compagnie du Canal in Port Said) and Vasilios Lazos (who was then employed by the 'Magasin Sarolides').
I assume these were Papadia's brothers, but I might be wrong.
No other information is provided, but I thought that this additional information might add another piece to the puzzle for you and your husband.

Phyllys, In case you and your husband seek to know more about Sotirios' marriage to Papadia, here are the details I have: - The wedding took place on 5 April 1909.
- The bride's full name (as recorded on their dowry agreement) was Papadia Stefanou Lazou.
- The dowry included a house on the prokymaia (waterfront) between the houses of Paraskevas N Kailis and Konstandinos I Markou.
That's about all I have. If you would like a copy of the dowry agreement, please do not hesitate to let me know. Nicholas

Milli,
I have located the dowry contract of Paraskevas Y Kafkaloudis and Chrisafina Y Kotza. It's dated 21 January 1909 and it says that the wedding was to take place that forthcoming Sunday, 25 January 1909.
Do you want me to send you a copy with the other documentation?
Nicholas

Levis,
In relation to the wedding photo, no. 18 is not Panagiotis Hatziyiannakis as far as I am able to see.
