Seeking any information at all about Pikerni, birthplace of my grandfather, Paraskeva Nicholas DELIS (Americanized to
Pete DALIS), b. 1886, and uncle Athanasios Nicholas DELIS (Tom
DALLAS), b. 1898. Pete came to
America in 1900 with cousins George, Andrew, and
Nick. George stayed with family in
Denver then moved near
Pete in San Jose, CA. Also researching great-uncles' lines: BOUDROUKAS (BUDROS) and PANOPOULOS (PANOPULOS), also from Pikerni. DEMOS is a family name but we are unsure of the actual connection. SAHINES is another name from the town. ELIOPOULOS (
ELLIS) may also be related. Please respond if any of this 'rings a bell.'
(At some point,
Pete and his brother-in-law George PANOPULOS each had a candy store.)
Any information is appreciated. Thanks very much!
