Looking for Stefanescu Aitici & Rodis families from Braila

My great grandfather Anton Stefanescu was born in Bucharest in 1864.
In 1893 he went to the railway school and he was transferred to Braila, port on Danube.


In 1896 he was cashier at a railway station.

Anton Stefanescu:


In 1895 he married Varvara who was half Greek from Braila and half Greek from Aegina island.


Her father was George Rodis (Ρόδης), son of Anton Rodis.
In the 19th century in Romania the family name of the child was the given name of the father.
For this reason George Rodis was named George Antoniu because his father given name was Anton.
George was born in 1840 in Aegina and he died in 1926 in Braila.
After year 1900 the family name of the child was the same as his father's family name.
I asked for the death certificate of George Antoniu and I got no document. After this I asked for the
death certificate of George Rodis and I got it ! So George so called Anton(iu) died as George Rodis.
The same was for Anton Stefanescu who was the son of Stefan Aitici who came from Ilok, Croatia.
When he died he died as Anton Aitici "so called" Stefan(escu) - son of Stefan.
Anton & Varvara had a lot of children.


Their first son is my grandfather, Stere Stefanescu, born in 1895.
Stere in 1933

Actors in a North Danube Greek tragedy

Imagine
Why tragedy ? Because at the beginning people care about others and after years they really don't care or there is no more surviving people to care about the past. I noticed that every family has a person who knows the oral history of the family. When this person disappears, the whole oral history disappears. Young people generally don't care about these elders who tell old stories only good to got asleep. Why Greek ? Because in the past Braila, port on Danube, had a big Greek community. This was a result of being a free port. There were Greeks, Armenians and Jewish merchants there, but Greeks were the sailors. Braila was a Turkish RAYA until 1829, see here:  RAYA  - link ! After the treaty of Adrianopolis the navigation on Danube became free and the Turkish trading monopoly was abolished. As consequence, Braila port became a cosmopolitan city. I think this port has fallen after 1877 when Romania got Dobrudja and king Charles I asked Anghel Saligny tobuild the port ...
