Family History Research

I am hoping that someone may be able to advise on how to go about doing family history research in Spetses I have family that was from Spetses and I am trying to locate any and all information on them.  I am trying to trace our lines to see if we have any living family in Greece as well as learn more about our past.  I am unsure how to proceed as I have only a few names and a few dates.  I only speak and write English does this mean I will not be able to proceed?

Greek Family in London looking for Greek-speaking Nanny

I have been asked by a contact of mine about finding a Greek speaking girl to look after three children in London.
 
Here are the requirements that were sent to me:

  • she must have some years experience in child care and references along with her beautifully fluent Greek, she must also have a good command of spoken English.
  • she must have a sense of humour and fun while juggling three children (Constantine, age 7, Aleco, age 5 and Diana 2) and two flat coated retrievers.
  • she must also be flexible and would be happy to travel during the school holidays and be prepared to join and live in a happy and chaotic family in the middle of the hussle and bussle of London life.  The family is based in Fulham.
  • It would be an added bonus if she were able to drive and/or cook and the salary would be increased according to these extra qualifications.

The wages would be around € 400 - € 450 per week, if you know of anyone.  It can be +/- depending on her experience, ability to drive and ability to cook.

Someone to converse in Greek with

Hello, my name is kurt and i've been living on spetses since the end of
february.  i am working in the old harbor, and i am slowly learning greek.
I speak english fluently and am looking for someone with whom to have
greek only conversations a couple times a week.  We could also switch and
speak only english if this person would like to improve his english.  Do
you happen to know anyone, or might you know a way i can advertise for
this help?  thank you very much!

Spetses still the same?

We are going to visit Spetses for a week from the 1st of October and hope we will see friends from many years ago. In the "70's I was a DJ in the Karnayo disco. In the "80's me and my wife had a small snack bar named Mik Mak on the Daphia.


Used to live on the island

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I used to live on Spetses with my family from around 1992-1996 My father was known as The Godfather (Nigel) and used to work in BJs. I wish to know if anyone remembers us? Although I am sure it has changed a lot.
