My father was Menas Psalidas (1906-1955) who came to Australia in 1828 and married Stamatina Frilingos (1916- present) here in 1935. Menas Psalidas was born in Potamos, Kythera. My mother remembers that my fathers mother (ie. my grandmother) was Maria Panaretos. She had a sister Helen Zaglas and two brothers who all lived in Greece.

Maria Panaretos’ children included my father Menas, Leo Psalidas, Panagiotis Psalidas, Ourania Gouzely, Katerina and two girls who died at 13 and 20 years of age respectively.

I hope this helps in your search for your family history.
