We all have a mother and father and we each have two 'lines' of descent. On my mother's side, one of my aunts, Miette D, has given us a superb account of our northern French WAROT ancestors, from around the 1650s. On my father's side I have enjoyed unveiling the past myself. Already nourished on many stories from both my grandmother and my father, I knew that one of our forebears was Julie Vlasto – a name belonging to a great Greek family from the island of Chios. One day, with no particular expectations, I posted on the internet's Genealogy Newsgroups a request for information on anyone by the name of VLASTO. A month passed before I had any response. But when it did come it proved to contain fascinating revelations. There were indeed surviving descendants of this family, as well as a web site where I found answers to many of my questions. I had hunted and I had found. And I remain fascinated by this intriguing and sometimes dramatic history of the Vlasto family of which I, and my children and grandchildren, are all members. I also discovered precious details about the husband of Julie Vlasto, Jean Zygomalas, also from Chios and a member of another of its noble families. By the end of this story we will have discovered many stories and much else relating to them.
