    Notes:

    A Nicolas Frangopoulos, married to an Angeliki, is recorded on a monument at the Petrocochino church Aghios GIoannis in the Kampos, Chios, and is said to have been a 'magistrate' or judge in England. (Christopher Long)

    A Nicolas Frangopoulos (no proof that this is he) was appointed as a member of the Chios 'ephory' during the Samian invasion and occupation of the island by Logothetis during the Massacres of Chios. (Christopher Long)

    His daughter's marriage record shows him as 'of Syros'. (Christopher Long)


    Nicholas Frangopoulos, 63, b. Chios, married, having arrived Syros 1828, merchant, swore allegiance to the Greek state on 20 Aug 1843 at the town hall, Ermoupolis, Syros.

    He was likely naturalized British. His grandson Nicholas Frangopulo, in his own application for British naturalization, said his grandfather was a British subject.

    Name:

    Nicolas married Angeliki (Perris) Maximo. Angeliki died on 28 Nov 1862 in [Greece]. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 13.  Angeliki (Perris) Maximo died on 28 Nov 1862 in [Greece].

    Notes:

    An Angeliki Frangopoulos, wife of a Nicolas Frangopoulos, is recorded on a monument at the Petrocochino family church of St John (Aghios GIoannis) in the Kampos on Chios. She is said to have died on 28 Nov 1862 (Christopher Long).

    Children:
    1. 6. Stamatios Nicolas (Nicolas) Frangopulo was born on 10 Aug 1815 in Chios, Greece; died on 16 Mar 1870 in allées des Capucines 17, Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur,France.

  3. 14.  Michael (Pandely) Agelasto was born in 1802 in Chios, Greece (son of Pandely (Michael) Agelasto and Loula (Stephanos) Ziffo); died on 19 Oct 1886 in rue de la Biblioteque 24, Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur,France; was buried on 21 Oct 1886 in St. Pierre Cemetery, Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur,France.

    Notes:

    Ralli & Agelasto operated in the silk trade in Marseille in 1860-61. See, Gregorii Valerianovich Melgunof, Das südliche Ufer des Kaspischen Meeres oder die Nordprovinzen Persiens (Adamant Media Corporation, 2004), p. 286.

    He is the "Mr Agelasto" referred to in the following anecdote. According to John (Matthew) Ziffo, his father Matthew Alexander Ziffo "was born in the Island of Chios about 2 1/2 years before the Massacre. On that terrible day his Mother with her two daughters, and a young maid, carrying my Father, took to the mountains to cross the island; following a long trail of refugees and guided by shepherds over mule paths. The maid soon got tired, left the child on the mountain side and fled. A Mr Agelasto, the father of John Agelasto whose firm (Frangopulo Agelasto & Co of London and Liverpool) [Theodore (Matthew) Ziffo] joined when he came to London, was following and recognizing the child picked him up and took him to the island of Syra. By a fortunate coincidence his mother and sisters also landed in Syra. One can imagine her joy at being re-united with her boy whom she had feared lost."

    He is the distinguished gentleman whose portrait is omnipresent at the top right of these webpages.

    Parker Agelasto has found four copies of a photo taken in Marseille that is believed to be Michael Pandely Agelasto, same as the portrait miniature. There are a lot of similarities to the portrait miniature, but the two pictures are separated by about 20 years. Similarly, one is a real photo the other an artist likeness of the sitter.

    He was in partnership as merchants, at Marseilles, under the firm of Petrocochino, Agelasto & Co.; at Constantinople, under the firm of E. M. Vuro and Co.; at Galatz [sic], under the firm of D. C. Climi and Co.; at Ibraila and Bucharest, under the firm of Parembli and Climi; and at London, under the firm of Petrocochino and Co., until it was dissolved 31 Dec 1861.
