Individual Details
James Nikolaos Marcopoulos
(Abt 1878 - )
Name from Susan Abrahamsen email to Carol Kostakos Petranek, May 19, 2021: Also just discovered through DNA that my grandfather, John Christakos (Christie) b.1885 had a sister, Mary Christakos b.1883. She lived in New Jersey and we never knew about her! Mary's great granddaughter, Maria, sent me a photo of Mary and she looked just like my grandpa. Mary's husband, James Marcopoulos, and my family owned the Assembly Restaurant together in Coney Island.
