Thank you v g butler and Krootie for your advice and info. Unfortunately I am in Australia so will have to wait until i'm in the US to search further. But know i can pinpoint it a bit easier so thanks again. Are both of you either aware of Greeks or other ethnicities changing or anglicising their surnames as i'm having trouble finding the Pantzikis surname anywhere at all on phone directories etc. Also does that explain the Adalist surname?? I've run out of options on finding the Pantzikis surname any further advice would be greatly appreciated (especially online searches). Thank you
