ITHACAN PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY "THE ULYSSES"
My name is Geoffrey Nicholas Gabriel and I'm In search of the Gabriel family descendants.
A brief family history follows that hopfully will assist readers to locate my relatives.
Grandfather - Nicholas Gabriel Grandmother - Andraniky Gabriel
They lived at 28 ? Arnold Street South Yarra. Their house was called "Parthenon" and it was a few doors down from the Synagogue in Toorak Road.
My grandfather owned cafes in the city. One name that comes to mind was Heards cafe.
They had 5 children:
My Parents are buried along with my Greek Grand Parents and Spiro [Dick] in the Greek section of the Fawkiner Cemetery
Bruce my brother died 2 years ago and he is buried at the Aberfeldie Cemetry [in the Victorian high country] He has 6 Children
I attended Mt Scopus College when it opened in St Kilda Road there were only 26 students for the first few years,
Later I joined my Brother Bruce at Melbourne Grammar School where I believe my Father and uncles attended.
I would like to know how and when my Grand Parents arrived in Australia; there was some talk about my Grandmother Andronicky being in Kalgoolie in WA for some time ?
I believe the Lucas Family could be related as Cousins of my Fathers? Tom Gabriel the Hotelier was also possibly related ?
There is also aunt Katerinis home in Parkville which I recall visiting with my Father as a young boy.
I would greatly appreciate any information that can be passed on to me.
