PELEHOS family relatives, Karistos origin ?

Surnames: Pelehos, Pyves
I am looking for information about my grandfather's (Peter Daniel Pelehos) family in Greece. He immigrated from Greece to Sydney, Nova Scotia Canada sometime between 1915 to 1925. Born in 1894? and lived in Karistos ?, Greece as a young boy. His Greek parents listed on his marriage certificate in 1925 in Sydney were James Pelehos and Kyriacoulla Pyves. Trying to find out if he had any siblings ( rumours he had a sister named Sophiae born 1891 ? and a brother ?) Trying also to find out if the Pelehos name was shortened or changed in translation??

Any help would be appreciated...
Kevin Pelehos
Grandson of Peter Daniel Pelehos

Hello Kevin

the name Pelehos/Pilichos/Πηλιχός is still found in the area around Karystos, especially in Nea Styra. http://www.whitepages.gr/gr/default.aspx
