Lakonian Genealogy

Kremasti, Niata,Epidavros Limera,Lakonia, Peloponissos, Greece

Welcome!

This site is for keeping track of my ancestors originating in Lakonia Greece and their descendants.

I am focusing on the family of my 4th Great Grandfather Nikolaos Tsingos Νικόλαος Τσίγκος (aka Tsigos, Tsiggos, Tsigkos, Tzigkos) from Kremasti born in the late 1700s. A list of his descendants to his great grandchildren is below.

There is some family lore that Nikolaos may have fled Mani and changed his name from Tsigakos to Tsingos. The name Tsigakos is found in Mani. There is a Tsigkou Monastery near Oitylo. If he was from Mani, perhaps the link to the family tree (ΓΕΝΝΕΑΛΟΓΙΚΟ ΔΕΝΔΡΟ) from Zacharias Tsigakos holds connections to the middle ages and Byzantium. Alternatively (or also) he may have been part of the Arvanites migration from Epirus near the border with Albania where the name is common. The Arvanites migrated into the Peloponnese and Attica in the late middle ages. Tsingos is not uncommon in other parts of Greece.

I am also interested in the following families:

Kombogiorgas Κομπόγιωργας (aka Kompogiorgas) from Harakas/Ierakas & Spetses
Lecakes (aka Lekakis) from Angelona
Kapeleris from Agios Ioannis next to Angelona

Recently, DNA matches suggest a connection to the very large families of Koulouris and Petrolekas.

There are still many gaps in my family trees that I need help with. If you have information to share, I'd like to hear from you. I am interested in names, dates and places of birth/death, photographs and stories.
