Hi Everyone , My name is Manuel Barris - My fathers name was Nicholas Kyriakakis Barris, married to Katina Savas ( Deceased )
My great , great grandfather Kyriakos Kyriakakis married into the Sevasti family and had 5 children ( On Castellorizo ) One of these
children was Constantine Kyriakakis ( My grandfather ) who married Evangeline Karazepounis ( On Castellorizo ) . This union resulted
in three children ( Kyriakos / Nicholas ( My father ) and Emmanuel Kyriakakos , who all migrated to Australia .
I have had great assistance from Allan Creswell and my cousins in tracking our family history.
My problem is that I cannot find when or where my father arrived in Australia ( I have found the arrival of his brothers and mother )
My other problem is that I do not know where my surname ( Barris) came from . As a child I was told our surname was Kyriakakis - Barbinos
and that it was changed to Barris !
I would appreciate any help
