Kalimera,

I'm in the UK. The other half is a Greek Cypriot born in the UK....Both parents from beloved Cyprus, sadly passed away now.

Seem to have found this place by accident, on my travels through the tinterweb looking for ways of finding information about where our little family descends from....big blank wall everywhere! Well, I do know where they came from, but finding anything about the North is about as useful as a chocolate fire guard, especially as I don't read and speak Greek!

Maybe after the intro, and the hello, I might be able to see if I can find help within these pages and its members!

Later in the year we aim to come over, to try and trace where his dads family were prior to '74, pinpointing exact location is as easy as finding if there are any relatives left on his fathers side in Cyprus too. Currently, here in the UK, there is him, and our son, you can imagine searching for things is errrrrr not getting anywhere!
Long term aim.......return back to the homeland for good!

So yeah, Hello from ME

Hello kin of Pegasus?

Fire away! What do you want to know about the "North"?

Hopefully he's just confused because of jet lag.

Hi guys,

What I'd like to know ...

Is it possible to find out exactly where family lived prior to 74. I know the village, just not an address. Probably under some tarmac anyway!

Is there somewhere I can contact? Government office, land registry that sort of thing or is it complicated. Last known place of grandparents dwelling was in Limassol, as that's where they ended up.

Tell us the name of the village in the now Occupied Areas... a lot of refugees stayed together and moved en masse (to an extent) to "new" villages.

Hi Flying Horse. Welcome.

In Cyprus you may be able to find an association for the refugees of the village or town in question.

Some people here might be able to help, but they will need more info.

Hi,

His fathers family were from Kato Zodhia.

We have been in contact, believe it or not with his late fathers best friend from the village(now residing in the UK), but as you can imagine he is quite old, can tell many tales 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.

Hopefully you can be pointed in the right direction and be given more contacts in Cyprus.

Good luck.
