Individual Details
Konstantinos Christos Papastratakos
(1914 - )
Name from birth-baptism record of daughter, Sofia.
Valerie Hanelt sent me an email with more info about Christos Papastratakos, Nov 12, 2020 (saved under Hanelt in gmail).
Here is Xristos Nikolaos Papastratakos family's Dimotologion from GAK (. In your Ancestry tree, you have his son Konstantinos marrying Aikaterini Panagakos. Great to get the info about Konstantinos' wife and daughters. Interesting that Konstantinos (Costa) is in the US in 1967 in So. Carolina and then dies in Morton Grove Il in 1996. That is the Chicago area where the Papastratakos group lives (nephew Peter Papastratakos - son of Nikolaos Xristos Papastratakos - Konstantinos' brother, lived in Morton Grove - some of his children still do).
The Dimotologion is where I got the birth years for Xristos' children. I will try to do a little more research - esp Costa's passage over. I wonder if Aikaterini came with him? Are his daughters still in Agios Ioannis now? Did they all go back and forth or did they come over to US and stay?
How I would love to communicate with them! Can you introduce me?
There is a Papastratakos who has a appliance store in Sparta - on the East side. I tried to call him in 2018, but he did not speak English so we couldn't talk. I wonder who he is.
I believe all these Papastratakos originate in Gorani from Boukoumenos in the 1700's. A couple of Papastratis cousins in Gorani became Papastratakos in Trypi/Magoula. They came to Trypi/Stavros around 1850-1860. Xristos' father was the son of Nikolaos. (look below for line)
In 1903 my grandfather had returned to Greece and was in the Papastratakos house in Magoula and asked for my grandmother's hand - she lived next door in the Kyvelos house and he saw her go out to walk in the park according to family story. Houses were demolished to make the platea in the 1970's. I actually think his grandmother had married the Kyvelos. Those two families are intertwined. Kyvelos was a big military family in the Mani in Kivelia. They stuck together in the US, too.
How I wish there were birth/death records in mid to late 1800's. Of course, we don't even have them here in the US until late 1800's.
I am trying to get all the MyHeritage information from Sparta Marriages and Electoral List entries over to Ancestry. Of course, it means adding an event in Facts, then the Source (copying, pasting and referencing MyHeritage) and then uploading the photos of the docs into the gallery. In order to keep track of who I have finished, I upload a snippet from the doc as the profile photo. It takes an evening to do 2-3 people. Very time consuming.
My ancestry tree is "private" until I get it updated and correct. Let me know if you want an invite now. I have a group that grabs anything I put up (one of them is a Greek American cousin) and after I am done I will try to sort her inaccuracies out. People copy from her and it is a big mess. But MyHeritage has all my info, too. That is another challenge - I have to keep editing MyHeritage with my Ancestry changes. THEN it all gets updated from Ancestry to Family Tree Maker.
I can't even begin to explain to anyone but you - eyes glaze over immediately.
