• Descendants of Stephanos and Theodora Casanova (312 KB)
  Stephanos was probably born in the town of Chios around 1810 and survived the Turkish massacre of 1821 by escaping to and being educated in the U.K. He is our 4th great-grandfather whose line mostly lived in Dafnonas. Four complete generations of their descendants are listed in this narrative. Our goal is to link him to the more noble Casanovas and prove that it was his father Zorzis who was hung in Vounaki square by the Turks with the others.
• Descendants of Antonios Kalamaras & Maria Koukouri (545 KB)
  We beleive they were born in the 1830s but we don't know where. They did live and die in Dafnonas. They had at least 3 children born in the mid 1850s to early 1860s, Michail, Eleni (later Perdikakis) and Georgios. We aren't sure if Maria's surname is actually Koukouris. Three generations of their descendants are listed.
• Descendants of Ioannis Manolias (309 KB)
  This tree is very small. Ioannis is my third great grandfather. We don't know who his wife was or where he was born, though probably in the 1830s and absolutely also lived in Dafnonas at the end. He had at least 3 children, my gg-grandma Despinou (my namesake, I'm Despina the 3rd!), Nikos and Antonis. We don't know much about them and no leads whatsoever as to how to proceed with them. Three generations of his descendants are listed.
• Descendants of Demetrios & Theodora Giannoulakis (748 KB)
  Demetrios and Theodora are my 3rd g-grands. As with the others, we don't know when (1820s?) or where they were born but that they lived and likely died in Dafnonas. They only had 3 children that we are aware of (Argyria, Stephanos and Georgios) but this family is HUGE. Listed here are 4 generations of their descendants. Another interesting note is that the Giannoulakis family is also sometimes known as the Mousouroulis family. Documents have shown the Giannoulakis family in Dafnonas even in the 1600s!
