Congratulations on this fantastic site.
My father Spiridon Mavromatis was born in 1907 in Pitsinades. He came to Perth at age 10 leaving behind two brothers, George and Sotiri, one of whom, I believe migrated to USA.
His parents were Michael Mavromatis (Mikaelis) and Zaphiro Griengi. His sister Irene went to bribane and married Peter Aroney. Their children were Nicholas, Michael, Zaphiro and Mary. I would love to visit Kythera, but the opportunity has not arisen. I had the opportunity to go to Crete three years ago and flew over Kythera on the way there. I cannot describe the feeling as I looked out of the window and saw the Island. I am a strongly patriotic Australian, but as I flew over the Island, the strong feeling came to me that Kythera was my home. If anyone has information about my family origins, I would love to hear from you.
