Sari Mustafa 'Tahura' is reputed to have originated from Turkey. [1] probably in the late 1700s or early 1800s, but the Location is not known.

Finding dates is an elusive fact in this research. İsmail Ali 'Giçço' , my great grandfather, was born in 1892. [2] We can assume that the first generation on our list, Ismail was born in the 1770's . His son Mustafa was born in 1810 , therefore the first recorded generation of this family begins with Mustafa İsmail 'Sari'. [3]

ALİ 'Tahuredi' was born in 1863. [4] His son İsmail Ali 'Giçço' opened the first sweet shop in Luricina with his wife Fatma 'Gitsuli (Giççu) and worked till his death in 1965. The property was adjacent to the village mosque. Fatma 'Giççu' ,became an orphan at an early age and was moved to Nicosia to work as a housemaid where unlike many Lurucinali's she learned to speak Turkish very well. On her return to Luricina in her teens she married İsmail Ali 'Giçço' ; she died of old age in January 1976. They were very well known in Luricina, they left behind them a reputation of hard work, honesty and tenderness that has made us all proud to be their great grandchildren.

A touching reminder of what Giçço dede and Giççu nene (as they were better known) is described by Hüssein Selim. The following is his letter about his memory and legacy of İsmail Ali 'Giçço' and Fatma 'Giççu'. Both were the maternal great grandparents of this sites creator

"İsmail Giçço Dedenin, Caminin yanında yemişçi dükkâni vardı, dükkâna daha fazla Giççu nene bakar, o da küçük eşeği ile köyü dolaşır ufak tefek ev eşyası, sabun, ( büyük yeşil kalıp ve üzerinde belesbit olduğu için insanlar ona "Belesbit sabunu" derlerdi ) Kiprit ( Bedevino ) potin boyası (Çarş) masıra, iplik ve yemiş satardı... Dükkân köyümüzün en eski ve tek yemişçi dükkânı idi...leblebi, tuzlu leblebi, fıstık, küsbe ve şeker satardı. Hatırlarım elimize bir kuruş geçtiği zaman Giççuya koşar şeker satın alırdık. Nane (öksürük şekerlerimizi) ordan alırdık,bazen karşılığında boş potin boyası şişesi veya yumurta verirdik...İsmail Giçço dedenin Gogo Bodiri Tepesinin yamacında bağı vardı, üzüm zamanı geceleri orda kalır bağını beklerdi, akşamlar çaldığı kavalın sesi köyde duyulurdu, kulağa çok hoş geldiğini hatırlarım.

Giçço ve Giççu köyün tarihinde iz bırakmış insanlarımızdandır. Nur içinde yatsınlar. [5]
