Toronto - one of the few left here who was born here.

Since genealogy is my hobby (passion?) have relatives in Oz, the US and England and New Zealand so far.

soft southerner? Not on your life! Born and raised in Dallas, Tx. (not always proud of that fact) Weather can be brutal but the people are very nice.

kismetchimera - where in Tx are you? Austin?

Born in London, brought up in Switzerland, England and the US. Now live in Midcoast Maine. On a clear day I can see Monhegan and on an even clearer day across the Pond.

Glad to see a few from Texas! Family from the Carolinas, but lived most of my life in or near Houston. Husband's family has been in Texas since the Republic days.

Hi Chatham

I posted a new reply to you on the board but kind people tell me to post reply here as maybe you find it easier.

I enjoy your message and memory too.

We have so many doctor here now it is crazy. Do you remember Dr Thrasivoulos Kontomitros? He still work here with Dr Tsekouras. Old and new - it is good. ha ha ha

Many things changed I think, but maybe not changed. Do you understand?

Crazy people at top of town supposed to take care for us but decisions they make are crazy. Do you remmeber road around town called Ayiou Ioannou. Mayor now talk of widening road big-time and many hotels on the road will be gone if work start. Hotel Belvedere and Rochari will be victim. I say already, those at top of tree are nuts.

If you miss the island and do not know of this site, maybe have a view. it has great webcams and I hear it is one of big Kousathana family who operate it. It is at:

I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland but now live in London, Ontario, Canada. I think a more controversial question would have been "Which country do you wish you were from?" My vote would be Austria.

Born in the UK, in Wirral village called Willaston, and now live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Lucky to be able to hold citizenship of both countries.

Diddl_maus - are you talking about Winnipeg??
