OUR PROJECT
In 2011 we embarked on the largest project ever attempted for Kytherian family history; the family tree of the entire island. We are reading and translating every record we have located to date to put together this family tree of people born on the island more than 100 years ago. We already have over 70,000 people and well over 300,000 citations and growing every day. We are also including any piece of information, no matter how trivial, we find about a person so we can try to get a full story of their life. We want the memory of these people to live on forever!
As part of our project, we are incorporating photos of as many individuals as possible. We are trying to stop their memories being lost to history. So far, we have over 3700 photos of individuals matched to their information and hopefully will get to 4000 soon. We have found photos from many sources such as documents, newspapers and tombstones but the best ones come from personal contributions. If you have any photos of people born on the island more than 100 years ago we would love to add them to the family tree of Kythera. We do hope to publish our work once complete. The photo can be of the person at any age and taken anywhere, but the person in the photo must be born more than 100 years ago.
Fill out the form below and we will contact you to send us the photo. Once we receive the photo we will email you details about this person that we have discovered. You may learn something new about them. We usually respond to emails the same or next day so if you have not received a reply email within a few days please check your junk or spam folders.
