One of the earliest genealogical records of the modern Greek state is the 1828 Census, which I wrote about in this post. This was ordered by Ioannis Kapodistrias when he was the Governor of Greece. Digital images of this census are stored on the website of the General State Archives of Greece, but the collection is disbursed across many files and difficult to access (records from the Kapodistrias collection are found here).
In 2020, researcher Konstantinos Koutsodontis sent me this image of the 1828 census of Agios Ioannis. It is possible that this list is not complete, or that there could be another list with more names from the village. For now, this is all that I have.
I have translated the names found in this record, and the translations were verified by Gregory Kontos of GreekAncestry.

It is so very interesting to look at these surnames. Some of them are found in the village today (2022). Do you recognize a name that appears in this census, but is now known as a different or modified name? Does your family appear in this census? Please let me know and I will post that information. I would like to trace the evolution of these Agios Ioannis names from 1828 to present day.
