He arrived in 1853 on the Statesman to Melbourne and then moved<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">, with his parents to Grenfell<\/span>. Another researcher in the family, headed out to Grenfell to meet some other ancestors and was given a photo of someone holding a photo of Themio. I have added the photo here. The tantalising story in the family is that they were related to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Constantine_I_of_Greece\">King Constantine of Greece<\/a>&#8216;s family. Anyway should this prove to be true it will make searching for them in Greece much easier. The family say that the sash and medal are a bravery award from fighting in some war between Greece and what would have been the Ottoman empire. However, it says that he signed his name with a mark on his marriage certificate, which implies he was illiterate. So there are some gaps that need to be closed in the information available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Born: 1833, P\u00e1trai, , Acha\u00edas, Greece <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Marriage: Louisa Maria Adams on 7 Dec 1863 in Lambing Flat, New South Wales <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Died: 6 Jun 1886, Eualdrie, Forbes County, New South Wales at age 53 <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Buried: 7 Jun 1886, Grenfell, Monteagle County, New South Wales <a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#5\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/BLUEDIAM.GIF\" border=\"0\" alt=\"bullet\" \/> Cause of his death was Consumption.<a href=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/309.htm#6\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/BLUEDIAM.GIF\" border=\"0\" alt=\"bullet\" \/> Other names for Themio were Thomas Nicolas Constantine and Themistoklis Loutopolous.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com\/%7Eyewenyi\/BLUEDIAM.GIF\" border=\"0\" alt=\"bullet\" \/> <span style=\"font-size: xx-small\"><strong>General Notes: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5in\"><span>Themio came to Australia in 1853 and changed his name to Laundess and was granted Australian citizenship in 1875.
