Mehmet Katri. The Kavaz family

         MEHMET İSMAİL 'Kavaz' (Katri)  (continued from part 2)


MEHMET İSMAIL KATRİ is the direct ancestor of the family now known as the KAVAZ. Interestingly KARA-MUSTAFA 'Hrisafi' went on to become the head of the Galaba's, Pekri's and many other families. Though it's hard to know with any exact certainty the year of MEHMET KATRİ'S birth, a routh calculation should be around the mid 1700s. The basis for this estimate is that  Mehmet Kavaz  was born   1810 [48], A separate page on the history of this family tree can be seen in "THE HISTORY OF THE KAVAZ ''.


Though all carry the name of Kavaz, many in this family group are also known as Gutsoveli. Bekiro/Usta. Ganu and Kaplan's.

ARİF MEHMET KAVAZ  'Paşa' born 1856 


Note; the only person registered in Lurucina in the 1800s named Kakulli Yorgi born 1850 was the son of Yorgo Baba Mihail [65]. It's possible that after his death  Arif Pasa, married his widower who would have been called Kakulla. Arif Pasha also lost his first wife [66]. One of their sons was in fact named Yorgi which makes this assumption credible. It was customary to name children after a deceased parent or step parent. Another custom was also for a widowed individual to marry a person who suffered the same experience. The only son born to Yorgi Kakulli named  Nikola was born in 1880 [67]. He was not registered on Ibrahim's records however.

[68] Ottoman record documents of 1889-1905

[69] Milli arşiv ve araştırma dairesinde 67 numarada kayıt. 1889,1890,1893,1897,1906 kayıtlar. Page 160, family number 160, records a, Yusuf/Petri Kaklos. It's unclear if this is the same person. It would seem that after the death of Yusuf Arif (born in 1881) the parents decided to give this infant a dual name. This however is speculative.

[70] Part of this family was on the records of İbrahım Tahsildar, but the information is inconclusive. A combination of his and Ottoman census records have given us a clearer picture of this family. As stated most members moved to Limassol and Anglisides

[71] The rest of Arif Mehmet Kavaz's family form part of İbrahım Tahsildar's records page. The Kaplans, unlike the Christian part of their family, remained in Lurucina.

[72] Dates from Ottoman census, 1879, Doc No; 160-a-3 page 319. & 154-a-1 page 307. Additional information from Mehmet Veli 'Kirlapo'.

[73] From personal interviews with Bekir Mehmet Kavaz 'Bekircik' & Leman Yusuf.

[74] Mustafa, İbrahim & Arif have not been found on any other record apart from the Milli arşiv  ve araştırma dairesinde 67 numarada kayıt.  1889,1890,1893,1897,1906 kayıtlar. page 160 family number 74. Though none were shown as deceased in the records, they have no families in existence. My conclusion is that all three died as children.
