HI Nicholas, my name is George reedits, my late fathers name was Panagiotis Elia Roditis, born kastellorizo 1920. He parents names were Elia Roditis and Maria Fitilikou (she was from Karpathos) I would like to know if Panagiotios Roditis in the picture is related to my father some where along the line, as my father would have been about 12yrs old. As far as I know there were 4 brothers with the surname Roditis, they came from kremasti in Rhodes, some of them took the name Roditis and the others took the name Kremastos, to distinguish themselves. Some of them had nicknames, like my great grandfather Elia, was paramithas(story teller).another off the pappouthes was nicknamed (kelamarni) his name was George.
Hope to hear from.

George,
Ilias Yeorgiou Roditis married Maria Panagiotou Haralambou Kofou (from Karpathos) in February 1902 on Castellorizo. I assume these are your grandparents (?).
I think that Ilias had a brother Antonios who also married in 1902 on the island, but I don't believe that the surname Roditis was restricted to one family, because I have seen other examples of families unconnected to yours who were given that paratsoukli (nickname) by virtue of their link to Rhodes.
On the Kremastos side, Nikolaos Kremastos had three children who married on the island between 1908 and 1922 (Smaragda, Ioannis and Christodoulos). While I have heard of the link before, I am not sure of the precise connection between this family and the Roditis clan. Maybe others have more details...
Nicholas
