Hello,
I just happened upon you post. My mother's family is from Kalymnos (Nitis) Nicholas and Kalotina. Grandmother's last name I will have to get. Well Klimis is the last name of the man that my Grandmother Kalotina's sister married. She had a son
Nick, and then she passed not soon after the birth. My grandmother Kalotina raised this boy for a while while the father was in Brussels. My grandfather had a sister Maria - who married a man who owned the grocery store in the town of Kalymnos. Her adopted son(who was also her nephew by blood)
Manolis died a number of years ago - SOMEHOW???
My grandfather had a brother John that lived his life in
Rhodes - til his death- bad eyes would not allow him into the states.
Another brother Michael lived in Greece and died young of TB. He had children Anthony,
Pete, Anna and the son they gave up due to being poor Manolis-to their sister Maria the store owner in Kalymnos.
My grandparents lived in Bronx, NY for most of their lives and had 5 children. My grandfather was a steel painter and my uncles continued the tradition in NY. Their children - Pete, Kaliope, Orotheos, Drussos & Mary who always goes by Anna. Drus passed years ago and Orotheos (Ted) sadly just passed a few months ago.
Let me know about you! Your connection - where you live and anything else.
I hope this helps you! and reaches you.
Mary
