The Maps of Lord Kitchener ( 1880s) were the first and most - TopicsExpress



          

The Maps of Lord Kitchener ( 1880s) were the first and most comprehensive in the history of Cyprus. Every village, road, and site were meticulously mapped to military efficiency. This one is the region of Lurucina & Dali. The name of Katrini near the main Larnaca-Nicosia road is the name of my first ancestor in Lurucina His full name was Mehmet Katri. He was born around the mid to 3rd Quarter of the 1700s. Im the ninth generation of his line. I hope to share the whole map of Cyprus in due course. A debt of gratitude to my great friend Deniz Houssein who originally shared these documents during my research into my roots.
