During the 20th emigration wave into Australia, Non-British nationals wishing to emigrate into Australia, had to provide a monetary guarantee, (sponsorship), and to obtain what today would be called an entry visa. The Greek term used for this certificate was prosklisi. My yia-yia, Olympia Tzortzopoulos had to borrow funds from a local Kytherian, to send her eldest son, Dimitri, to Australia. Once established, in 1928, Dimitri then provided both the funds and the prosklisi for his younger brothers, Minas and Panayoti to emigrate to Australia. This pattern of sponsored family emigration was followed by many other Kytherian families. It would be interesting to post copies these emigration visas to the kythera-family web-site.
