"My father is Nikon Papagiannakos (born 1938); my grandfather was Dimosthenis Papagiannakos (born 1908) and my grandmother was Hariklia Kamposouli (born 1908) from the village of Anavriti. These three together with my father's brother, Panagiotis Papagiannakos, immigrated in USA at 1956 (I found out this information 3 months ago searching at ancestry.com – I attach the file). They lived and worked in Brooklyn NY and then in Stamford, Connecticut, where they established Pappa’s Pizza (1960), which was later sold to Filimon Sgouris and still exists http://www.originalpappaspizza.com/home.html#aboutss. The family returned back to Sparta in 1969, where they built the biggest cinema of the city, Cine Anesis.
My father got married in Sparta (1974) and returned in New York together with my mother, where they lived for three years. My brother Dimitrios was born in New York (1975) and when my parents realized that my mother was pregnant to me, they decided to return to Sparta forever (1977). During that period (1975-77) my father visited one of his uncles who was living in Brooklyn (James Pappas). Searching in your site I found out that person http://www.onefamilycircle.com/getperson.php?personID=I332&tree=PK. James Pappas was excited with the fact that my brother had the same name with him (our US passports have the Pappas surname, although our Greek passports write Papagiannakos). Trying to find the connection with his family I discovered that my great-grandfather (Panagiotis Papagiannakos) is the brother of James Pappas’s father Nikolaos http://www.onefamilycircle.com/getperson.php?personID=I283&tree=PK. I still don’t know who their father was. If you have that information, please share it with me."
