Kytherian Background

I was born in Molai, Greece. I am Kytherian through my father, and am registered in his village - Fratsia.
In Fratsia we are also related to persons with the name Kentrotianika.
We have many relatives in the cities of Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia.

Είμαι Κυθήριος από την οικογένεια του πατέρα μου και συγκεκριμένα από τα Φράτσια. Μάλιστα, στο χωριό υπάρχει και συνοικία με το όνομα Κεντρωτιάνικα (κάποτε, τον 19ο αώνα ήταν και Δήμος). Εγώ, δεν γεννήθηκα στα Φράτσια, αλλά είμαι γραμμένος στα Μητρώα Αρρένων της πρώην Κοινότητας Φρατσίων (σήμερα Κυθήρων). Υπάρχουν αρκετοί συγγενείς με το ίδιο επίθετο στη Mελβούρνη και στο Brisbane
