“ Panagiotis M born: 1910 Agios Ioannis
Mihalakakos, Konstantinos M born: 1912 Agios Ioannis; lived in Athens,death December 12, 1968
Aridas Anastasia F born: 1918 Agios Ioannis married Dec 27 1959
*Note: Received a copy of Family Register from Mystras, from George Revelos in October 2009. That family register had Konstantinos listed. George said the following: "As for Kosta Mihalakakos, that is Kosta Aridas. My uncle wrote my mother back in the late 940's that he had uncovered the real name for Aridas as Mihalakakos. He said that one of the ancestors had long legs which is what Aridas translates to from arida (leg). It was a nickname that stuck. So, there for a while we were saying that mom was a Mihalakakos. It didn't take long for tht to disappear. I think my uncle Kosta had that put in. Maybe the note after his name references that. I can't make out what it says."
"Anastasia was born in 1918. She married late in life to Spiros Pantazos and died in a Nursing home in Sparta several years back. She sold the family home prior to passing. We visited Thea Tasia often during her lifetime." Source: George N. Revelos, email to Carol Petranek, October 5, 2009.
Anastasia married late in life and never had any children with Spiros Pantazou. Spiros, originally from Agios Ioannis, lived in Toronto, Canada through World War II and returned to Greece after the war and married my aunt. I don't know the year. They came for a visit in the 1960's I believe. They also visited his sister in Toronto. The plan was for him to live in Canada for a year to be eligible for the Canadian Veterans pension while my aunt would return to Greece for the harvesting of the oranges. Uncle Spiro turned down the opportunity for the pension and returned to Greece with my aunt." Source: George N. Revelos email to Carol Petranek, October 16, 2009.

*Konstandinos Michalakakos -- 2 different theories as to why he has a different name: (1) George Revelos said his mother, Effrosyni Aridas, learned when she was in Greece in the 1950's that the original family name was Michalakakos, but an ancestor had long legs and he got the nickname "Arida" (long leg or big foot); (2) George Aridas said the original family name was Aridas, but Kostandinos was a minister in Athens and he didn't like the name Aridas so he took his father's name, Michail, and called himself Michalakakos
