"Life in early 20th-century Greece" by Giannis Michalakakos (1/29/2022)

2nd International Greek Ancestry Conference (Jan. 29-30, 2022) - Session II: Greece in the 20th century

Have you ever wondered about the day-to-day activities of your ancestors’ lives? How did they prepare and preserve food, make clothing, educate their children? When did paved roads and modern conveniences arrive in rural villages? This presentation will help us understand the conditions and circumstances of our Greek families pre-World War II.

Ioannis Michalakakos was born in Athens in 1985 to a Maniot family. He holds a BA in House Economy and Ecology from Charokopeio University (Athens) and a MSc in Cultural Management from the Hellenic Open University. He studies the history of Mani and Lakonia and has published various articles. He is an active member of the Greek genealogical community and has participated in major initiatives. Ioannis also administrates Maniatika, a blog dedicated to Maniot history and genealogy.
