I feel proud that somebody in this large world is reading the facts about the ancestry of my family's name and for this reason I have to thank you but I have to disappoint you by informing you that the first Dimitriu from my family, in Romania, was the father or grandfather of my grandfather which came in Romania (former Romanian principalities) about 130 (may be 150) years ago as a monk from one of Athos monasteries and his name was Sebastian or Mikhalaki (the informations I have now do not permit me to be very sure in statement).
This monk, after a certain number of years spent in a Romanian monastery, decided to mary and did it. So, in this way, as born our family's name which at first was Demitriu and later became Dimitriu.
But, having in view that you still have moldavian blood I would be happy to change messages with you and probably to meet you because me and my brother we are merchant fleet officers. I can give you more details but not in this mail.
Sincerely yours,
Corneliu C. Dimitriu
