Apparently, at the time of the invasion, the village numbered 8,000. That's a lot of people (now sadly refugees).

Anyway, as Kurupetos posted, the village administrators are your best bet for finding names associated with your father-in-law and maybe finding out their present whereabouts.

When you come to Cyprus, visit the citizens advice places ( κέντρα εξυπηρέτησης του πολίτη), found in most big towns and probe them for ways forward. They are an amazing repertory of information.

Hi, I saw this one the other day, and with a wee bit of delving found a related BlogSpot, which seems to be run by the same people and emailed them. They're also on google+, so figure they are pretty current with updates and reading emails. They have a link to the one you have posted above on your post too.

My worry is, I don't speak Greek and as I am doing this on behalf of the hubby am a bit shy of calling a number and asking If the person at the other end speaks English.

Hubby perfectly capable of speaking, but hes never NOT at work

[Flying Horse]

One thing to note, is his surname. Its not a common name. AFAIK

I can understand you're frustration since you can't speak Greek, but don't give up.

If you're near London, try visiting the Cyprus Consulate.

13 St James's Square London, Greater London SW1Y 4LB, United Kingdom
+44 20 7321 4100

You can also try and speak to these guys:

http://www.cypriotfederation.org.uk/ind ... &Itemid=81

From there, they could possibly put you on to someone you can communicate with either in UK, Cyprus or both.

I managed to correspond with the Honorary Consulate in Glasgow some months ago, who in turn found the friend of the late father in law. That was like a wee jewel, and was wonderful to reminisce...just couldn't ask too many questions of an old man who isn't in the best of health.

I've actually just received an email back from the Zodhia Epistrofi site manager, we shall see where this leads

[Get Real!]

...but is a bit vague when asked about where we might find family or indeed exact places of pre '74....out of respect, I don't ask further. Its not polite and I consider it rude to perhaps request an old fella to rack his brains as to where possible relatives of my late father in law, may or may not be!

I'm quite determined that we should find these things out, as its been 10 years since my father in laws passing this week. We want to come back to Cyprus later this year and be able to bring his memory home. . . and begin a new journey, if its all possible.

I’m baffled as to what you’re looking for so I’m not surprised you can’t find it!

[Flying Horse]

I’m baffled as to what you’re looking for so I’m not surprised you can’t find it!

A: Land, home, ruins, tarmac, exact address that would have belonged to the family pre 1974 in Kato Zodhia. Father in Law died before Astrometris crossing opened. As its the anniversary of his death, it would be nice to be able to finally find out where he belonged, and pay respect to his memory if possible where he lived and grew up when we come over later in the year.
B: Relatives belonging to our family if they still exist in Cyprus, on Father in Laws side.

Any clearer?
