Europe / Re: Greece: tracing family Papadopulo
« on: Thursday 29 July 10 11:51 BST (UK) »
hello Bob
I've only just this morning found your latest messages to me - re the Papadopulo family - but they're dated last year - is it really that long a time since I was in touch with you - seems impossible!!
You may not want to be bothered any more - but in case - I'll bring you up to date.
I found my grandfather D.G. Papadopulo on the 1871 Census at a private school
in Oxford - about an hour on the bus from where I live!
The Census shows that he was born in Constantinople (as was his brother0 and not in Corinth, as I had always been told.
Have contacted the Turkish Embassy, who did not like my using the name Constantinople! and were not helpful.
So that's where I am now. Thought I had hit the jackpot with a school in Oxford, but as it was private, there are no public records - but will see whether I can trace anyone in the headmaster's family (Josiah Mundy Crapper), a lot of whom were in Oxfordshire in the late 18/early 1900s.
So, the search goes on.
Looking through those old messages I see that you gave me so much help and I really must thank you so much.
Very best wishes, Maureen
