Dear all -
My great Grandfather Gus was born in Anchialos, Bulgaria in 1893 and immigrated to the USA from Athens to NY on the ship Moraitis in 1907.
He came over under the name Constantine Miltiodes Politakis but changed his name to Coffidis. I believe Coffidis (alternate spellings Koufoudes) was his real name but travelled under his sister's married name Politakis.
From this ship manifest he was clearly traveling with:
- Stylanis (Stella) Politakis
- Panaghiotis (Peter/ George) Politakis
- Stavros (Steve) Politakis
They were all going to live with Fatios Politakis in Boston.
I know he had a brother that stayed behind in Varna at the naval academy, but I do not know his name and I do not know how Coffidis is spelled in Bulgarian.
Can anyone help?
Eliana Coffidis
