The Calvo Coressi family, Greeks from Constantinople, based in Chios, were also active as merchants in Romania. Christopher Long writes: 'Alexander Calvocoressi (1840, Chios - 2/1/1867 Florence) apparently unmarried, son of Leonidas 'Leonis' Calvocoressi (8/8/1814 - 18/3/1903) and his wife Loula Maximo (1815 Chios - 12/3/1898 Chios). His grandfather was one of the noblemen of Chios killed by the Turks in the Massacre of Chios in 1822. His family (parents and siblings) appear to have travelled widely as traders in Europe, the Black Sea and India - typical of the Chiots. However, looking at the little we know of them, I suspect this little branch of the family was not particularly successful by comparison with many of their super-rich cousins in the Chios diaspora who generally settled in England, Marseille, etc'. www.christopherlong.co.uk/gen/calvocoressigen/index.html
