Nicholas Kenos left Epirus in Northern Hellas (Greece) in 1924 and came to Australia in the hope of beginning a new and better life for his family.

He would be later joined by his brother Gregory and much later by Sotirios and others before his eldest son George (1927) and much much later George's son Terry (Eleftherios) would come to Melbourne after distinguished service in the Korean conflict where he was wounded in action.

By the mid 1950s virtually all of the family were living in Melbourne Australia. Nicholas and his wife Katherine, along with her brothers et al the Sdrinis family, several of whom who subsequently became noted lawyers or doctors, as well as active in the community.

John remained overseas where he changed his surname to Christopoulos, after his father Chris, for business reasons.
