The Elementary School of Anavriti in 1838 - Municipality of Vrysai - Greece
Carol Kostakos Petranek, author of the Spartan Roots blog, has given permission for HellenicGenealogyGeek.com to reprint her June 10, 2015 post - The Elementary School of Anavriti (municipality of Vrysai) in 1838. This should enable the names to be more accessible for people doing Hellenic genealogy research on the internet.
-----
My friend, teacher, and historian, Giannis Michalakakos, has
translated a list of children enrolled in school in Anavriti in 1838. The
original digitized records can be found online at the General Archives of
Greece (see source at end of document).
Giannis has added valuable information about the origin of
many of the names in these records (look for a superscript number). He
also provided links at the end of this document to the GAK Archives and to a
blog dedicated to architecture in Sparta, and specifically to an article about
Anavriti. I extend to Giannis my deepest appreciation for his time and
effort in finding and translating this list.
The year 1838 predates many extant
records (including Mitroon Arrenon); and as Giannis explained to me, if you
calculate that the fathers of these children could be 30-40 years old, they
would have fought in the Greek War of Independence in 1821!
To read more of Giannis’ writings about history, genealogy,
and other issues concerning Mani, follow his blog, Maniatika.
Again, thank you so very much, Giannis!
