Early morning waves of silver, glint off the blue waters of Paliopoli (pre-Christian port of Skandeia) as I and others trek up to, the until now unattainable church of Agios Kosmas at Paliokastro, the original ancient capital of Kythera.

Alexander - I am searching for information on my maternal grandmother whose name was Calliope Vlandis. She married my grandfather in Alexandria, Egypt, most likely in the 1930's. Is there any chance she might be Emmanuel's daughter?

Calliope Vlandis - Alexandria, Egypt

Hello,

I was searching for information about my maternal grandmother, who died when my father was a young child. Her name was Calliope Vlandis and was married to my grandfather, Cleanthis Stamboulieh in Alexandria, Egypt, likely in the 1930's. We have so little information about her. I noticed that Vlandis is a common name in Kythera so I thought perhaps someone here might be able to help us. If you have any information, we would be grateful.

Regards,
...
