Hi Matt,
Thanks for your reply. I've spoken with Mike & John by phone over the years. They both say Nick knows the family info best, but I cannot reach him.
I spoke with your father about George. He led me to Dean, who has been of immeasurable help. Your Dad did call him and asked that he help me out. He's been amazing, but I've pretty much tapped him out.
At this point, beyond hoping for pictures (which have been refused so far), I'd like to know the family history - info on Geo's parents, grandparents and their parents. I think Mike said Geo's father was Stavros, but another note I have says it was Constantine. Dean's parents knew Geo's parents in Constantinople, I think. I helped Dean locate Hiraklitsa, where your grandfather Alex Sr. was born, and where Dean's parents/grandparents(?) lived, I think.
I'd also love to be in contact with my half siblings, but one doesn't reply, the other most likely has not been told about me. Or even Geo's sibling(s). Even though I spoke with Geo once, he was quite cordial, he has been unwilling to further a relationship - so I assume everyone falls in line with that desire. Understandable, from what I read of Greek society, but sad for me.
Again, thanks for your reply.
