contrast to Vasileios, married Eleni Eleftheriou Kaloumeno31 in 1918, taking a proportionate dowry (Neoreion Street).32 Later in 1917, he bought another piece of property at the street Theater of Piraeus (Fig. 12). In 1942, he bought several more properties.33 From this Panagiotis and his wife Eleni Eleftheriou Kaloumenou, the family continues today and naturally also the surname Balteas, bringing three additional generations, from the last two of which come all of the living members of the family.

Nikolaos Konstantinou Balteas
This individual was born in 189234 and remained childless.
Finally, let us hope that the names of the entire Balteas family have been entered and co-exist harmoniously in the attached Genealogical Chart, thus also harmoniously with great steps of progress, so that their descendants will always live without forgetting the beautiful places of their ancestral origin, the historical Varousi of legendary Mani and its neighboring Kalamata.

31The "middle" name of a Greek woman is not traditionally a real middle name, but is a "patronymic name," a possessive noun form derived from the given name of her father. Her maiden name, of course, was also inflected, just as the patronymic, reflecting a possessive form. Male members of the family would use the surname spelling that doesn't show possession, but follow the same inflectional pattern for the patronymic.
32In the Mani magazine article, the authors had referred readers here to specific documents, but images of these were not reproduced in the article. Thus we are unable to reproduce them for HCS viewers.
