This information was sent to me, when I was searching for my grandparent's information. Seems that Zephyr became good friends with them.
"Among 1890-1894 more or less arrived to Bahia de Caraquez from U.S.A. a Greek born in Pilos (as I know) naturalized American citizen named Zephyr Constantine that made business in Bahia and Chone like consular agent."

Re: Constantine

cenlaw1 — 2012-05-02 23:44:55Z

Hi:

I believe I may be related to Zephyr. Do you know anything about his children? Specifically, did he have a son named George? Do you know anything about him?

Thanks,
Courtney

Hi Donna,

Do you know if your Constantine family roots come from Pouch Cove? If so, we could exchange info? Some of my Constantine relatives moved to St Johns in the early 20th century. My email address is in the posts above, could you email me so I could send you the stuff I have? It is too much to post in this forum.

My great grandmother is listed as Lydia C. Alvaranga, daughter of David Alvaranga, Sr reported to be from Portugal. Is this the same Alvaranga's? They would have been in Kingston around 1890.

Yes, that helps, thanks! My family originates in the Csrlton house.

I want to establish the lineage form Constantine the Great on City of York, to the family in Carlton. So that owuld now be 306 to 1480...quite a gap!

Re: Constantines of Yorkshire

rogeramway — 2012-01-06 06:08:44Z

I am a descendant of the Coverdale Bard. I have been to the Carlton home of Constantines, and spoke to Mrs Ryder.

My grandmother, Mary Constantine, left Carlton for Canada in 1920.

I want to traoe our lineage from Constantine the Great to Carlton 1776.

Any help will be apprecisted and reciprocated.

My mother was a Constantine, (Ivy) and a relative has traced the family back to Henry Constantine:

Birth BEF 1480
Death BEF 1547
First location found was Conistone in Craven, Yorkshire.

My side of the family moved to the East End of London, and then to Aldershot,Hants after WW1.

Orielbenfro — 2011-01-31 14:09:25Z

I am interested in just one Constantine, that of Matthew Constatine a sailor, I know he died in Pembrokeshire in 1940, however at the time he was believed to be aged 50+ and from Tyneside.
Free BMD shows Matthew aged 45 at his death in the Haverfordwest Registration District, this district agreeing with the place of his death.
There is a Matthew Constantine born in Keighley Reg District in 1893, and would like to prove that the Matthew's of 1893 and 1940 are one and the same person.
I hope to have more info when I have visited his headstone, but in the meantime wonder if you are able to confirm any details.
I am not related to the Constantine surname

I can give you information. WE have the family bible. Go into this spot in ancestry http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/10673611/family?fpid=#pedigre...
I am descendant of Patrick.
Dennis Constantine’s gravemarker says he was born in Durah, co. Clare in 1786. There is no town by that name. There is a Doona near Ennis. Honora’s name was Hannah Honora Gilligan 1798-1865.
Our relative was there son, Patrick Henry Constantine, born 1832 in Mumford, NY and died in Buffalo in 1916. He was married to Susan Duggan (b. 1829 in Ireland, and died in Buffalo, 1901). They had 5 children including twin sons born in 1867, John and William. William married Harriet Adelaide Wallace in 1895 and they had 3 sons: Harold J. (1896-1963, William Wallace (1897-1970), and Walter Edwin (1901-1991). Neither Harold nor William Wallace had any children. Walter married Elizabeth Marie Boland in 1939. They had 5 children: John Boland (1941, currently in Andover Ma.), Walter Edwin, Jr. (1942, Elma, NY), William Joseph (1944, NYC), Ann Elizabeth (1945, Andover, Ma.), and me, Robert Wallace (1948 in Buffalo, NY).

Hi
Thought I would reply and say that I have just started to find out about my Fathers family, trouble is he has passed and never talked about his parents or other members of the previous generation. Just as if they did not exist! My farther was Charles, born in Nottingham, England. So I have started from there, but it is so hard with no refrences! Still, I wish you all the luck in finding your past and maybe we will have a branch that joins, who knows?

Hi, I've just discovered your message below.

And that my Sheffield Constantines came from Wensleydale around 1780: William Constantine born 1756 in Giggleswick (probably a butcher). His father was probably John Constantine born c1721 probably in Giggleswick.

Do they connect with your information, please? If so, I'll gladly send more details.

Many thanks.

When you get back to Elslack in the Parish of Broughton, 17th century, you'll bump into my known line! From there ~ some moved to Haworth ~ from Haworth.... the diaspora throughout the world is quite extensive.

nota bene: there is an odd branch in Keighley in the 19th/20th century that do not descend from the Haworth branch....

One day I intend to prove the link between ALL of them in that area...
~ but I do need others' help who have got extracted parish records that are not yet available on~line.

Re: Dimitrakis family - Samos - Karlovassi

aduanatech — 2010-04-07 05:51:27Z

Hola Gloria

Buenas noches, he visto su blog en internet, muy bonito.

Mi mayor consejo, es que trate de conseguir documentos antiguos de los griegos.

En Esmeraldas vivia un Sr. Pitagoras Dimitrakis que fue el hijo mayor de Stavros, se que este Sr. Pitagoras fue enviado de niño a Grecia y criado por las tias y familiares en Karlovassi. Se que el pelio en la Guerra contra los turcos, creo que en 1922. (Despues regreso a Ecuador siendo adulto y como ciudadano griego (no hablaba español). La hija de el es Celeste Dimitrakis Garcia que vive en Esmerladas y un hijo de ella que vive en Guayaquil que se llama Marcos Marmolejo Dimitrakis

Tambien hace mucho tiempo vi un documento "como un otorgamiento de poder" que el Sr. Pitagoras le daba a un Sr. Hatzidakis para que haga todo tipo de arreglo en Grecia por unas tierras en Karlovassi que por Herencia les pertenecia a los descendientes de Stavros y Dimitrios pero como en esa epoca el gobierno de Grecia era anarquistas no le permitieron dejar resuelto el tema.

Tambien en conversacion escuche que una familia de los griegos Stavros y Dimitrios se establecieron a principios de sigloen USA y esta familia tenia los planos de las tierras en Karlovassi.

Sobre este tema de los familiare establecido en USA visitar esta pagina web:
http://stevemorse.org/ellis2/ellisgold.html
Al abrir la pagina en donde dice Town name escribe:
Karlovassi y da click en search y le aparecen todos los griegos que salieron de este lugar
Escriba tambien Karlovasi (con una s) o Carlovassi o Carlovasi, puede que alli exista alguien por apellido y nombre que reconozcan.

Tambien conoci a una Sra. Maria Dimitrakis (fallecida hace un par de años atras) hija de Stavros que tenia un Cristo que al parecer pertenecia al padre o familia de Grecia y no se si mas cosas.

Alguien en la familia Constantine tiene las fe de bautismo de Stavros y Dimitrios, las mismas que fueron solicitadas al Archivo Historico de la isla de Samos, a continuacion direccion, telefono y correo electronico de ese lugar:
Samos Former Prison Compound,
83100 Samos +30 22730-24220 +30 22730-28682 mail@gak.sam.sch.gr
Contact: X. Landros
Le explico algo, si este Sr. Landros que encontro en Samos - Karlovassi las fe de bautismo es muy pero muy facil que encuentre en secuencia, primos, tios, sobrinos y descendientes de la familia hasta la actualidad y despues de eso solicitar mas informacion al Registro civil de Karlovassi.

Como el trabaja en el archivo Historico estoy mas que seguro que debe haber registros catastrales de las tierras por familia y alli deben de aparecer los padres de Stavros y Dimitrios e inclusive quienes quedaron como encargados.

Salir de Grecia en esas epocas eran las guerras constantes contra con los turcos que vivian invadiendo las islas griegas.
Llegaron a las costas manabas y se quedaron alli por el clima y gente muy parecido al de Grecia (mi apreciacion)

Si usted quiere encontrar a la familia, debe de pedir informacion a todos sus familiares y armar una carpeta con rodo detalle e ir dandole forma a la misma.

Estamos a las ordenes

Atentamente

Xavier

gloriaulmer1 — 2010-04-07 00:49:33Z

Hi Xavier,

Foremost thank you for this valuable information. I will ask Hector for the copy of that picture.

Yes, I do speak Spanish. I live in Miami, Florida. I was born in Ecuador, my father was Licurgo Epaminondas Constantine and my grandfather as we knew of him was Dimitrio Constantine.

Hector Solorzano Constantine is my cousin, his mother my father's sister but I have only seen and have a copy of one picture, of my grandfather. I also have a copy of their marriage certificate as Constantine.

But the questions began when we saw the letter sent by him to Samos, where the name changed to CH-Dimitrakis, asking for a return of some land.

The questions I have are many, such as why was the name changed? Why and how did they end up in Ecuador? Where did he died and lived? Did he ever go back to Greece?

Best regards,
Gloria

Hello, good morning, do you speak Spanish?

What info do you need exactly?,
What can I do for you?

My mistake the brothers were:
- Stavros Chatzidimitriou
- Dimitrios Chatzidimitriou
Father: Konstantinos
Mother: Grammatiki

I suggest find first old pictures, records and letters of your Greek family side from Samos / Karlovassi.

I remembered many years ago Mr. Hector Solórzano Constantine showed me an old picture from Greece - Karlovassi relatives (a woman appears in this picture).

Is very easy find relatives in Karlovassi, exist a few people living in this place with the last name Chazidimitriou.

Surnames:
My great, great grandfather was John Constantine--have no information on him yet, we also have a Taylor in the family--have not figured out how Taylor becomes involved in family yet either. Greek? My grandmother (John's daughter) once wrote to King Constantine of Greece thinking we may be Greek. There are Taylor's buried in Leverington Cemetary in Phila. There is also a VFW Hall named after a Taylor (he was decapitated in WWI.--thus was honored with this VFW Hall. The Taylor's must be somewhat closely related as he is buried in my family plot.

Dear Gloria

I`m from Ecuador and have close conection with Constantine and Dimitrakis families, exist a big confusion on this, let me explain:

Among 1870 - 1890 arrived to Bahia de Caraquez two Greeks from Samos Island (Karlovassi´s town):
- Stavros Chatzidimitriou and his young brother
- Konstantinos Chatzidimitriou.
For reason that we dont know they changed the last name to CH-Dimitrakis and finally Dimitrakis.

Among 1890-1894 more or less arrived to Bahia de Caraquez from U.S.A. a Greek born in Pilos (as I know) naturalized American citizen named Zephyr Constantine that made business in Bahia and Chone like consular agent.

The mistake:
Konstantinos Chatzidimitriou or Konstnatinos ChDimitrakis or Dimitrakis fought with his brother Stavros and left Bahia´s town and settled down in Chone´s town.
In Chone knew Mr. Zephyr and made a big friendship.

For reason that we dont know Konstantinos changed again his surname to Constantine like his friend Zephyr.
I can assure this info because I saw the certificate of marriage and said:
fiancé name: Konstantinos Constantine, Father name: appear last name Chatzidimitriou

Hope this information Help you

Regards

Xavier

He came to the United States Aprox in 1870 - 72, and became a U S Naturalized Citizen 14 February 1872 in the 4th District Court (San Francisco) California . In 1894, he took the charge of U.S. Consular Agent in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador. He was Greek Merchant when he had 45 years old, and travelled to many places around the coast of Ecuador. He had 4 sons in Chone - Ecuador: Christodulo (U.S. Naturalized Citizen, Baltimore, Maryland), Jorge, Constante and Florentino Constantine. I am searching for information on any of my great grandfather's family in U.S. and Greece; Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Xavier,

thank you for all this valuable information.
The family I am looking for is the Dimitrakis brothers.

The family in Ecuador has a copy of a document where the name entered was Konstantinos Chatzidimitriou in reference to land the family owned in Samos and was trying to recuperate.

Regards,
Gloria

PS also when he married Monseratte Garcia our grandmother in his papers his last name was changed to Constantine already.
The family lived in Chone,but Konstantinos due to his work or business? traveled a lot and had to leave his new family behind.
Thereafter the oldest son Licurgo Constantine moved the whole family except -Konstantinos- to Guayaquil Ecuador for economic reasons.

Dear Gloria

I`m from Ecuador and have close conection with Constantine and Dimitrakis families, exist a big confusion on this, let me explain:

Among 1870 - 1890 arrived to Bahia de Caraquez two Greeks from Samos Island (Karlovassi´s town):
- Stavros Chatzidimitriou and his young brother
- Konstantinos Chatzidimitriou.
For reason that we dont know they changed the last name to CH-Dimitrakis and finally Dimitrakis.

Among 1890-1894 more or less arrived to Bahia de Caraquez from U.S.A. a Greek born in Pilos (as I know) naturalized American citizen named Zephyr Constantine that made business in Bahia and Chone like consular agent.

The mistake:
Konstantinos Chatzidimitriou or Konstnatinos ChDimitrakis or Dimitrakis fought with his brother Stavros and left Bahia´s town and settled down in Chone´s town.
In Chone knew Mr. Zephyr and made a big friendship.

For reason that we dont know Konstantinos changed again his surname to Constantine like his friend Zephyr.
I can assure this info because I saw the certificate of marriage and said:
fiancé name: Konstantinos Constantine, Father name: appear last name Chatzidimitriou

Hope this information Help you

Regards

Xavier

P.N.: What family are you looking for: Dimitrakis brothers or Constantine Zephyr descendants
