On September 5, 1909, a dowry agreement was signed by Father Gavriil Papazoglou, an Orthodox deacon and father of the bride (Soultana Papazoglou), and Ioannis Livanos, father of the groom (Nikolaos Livanos), for the upcoming ‘first marriage’ of the young couple. In 1924, the couple and their families were not deemed exempt from the Population Exchange Agreement and were forced to leave their homes. They first settled in Kallipoli, Piraeus and then moved to Koukaki. Today, the agreement is in the possession of Nikolaos Livanos’ grandson and namesake. This family document attests to the moment the family was created according to the mores of the time, and it is the only keepsake that has survived the family’s long and tumultuous journey through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
