Penny:
My great grandmother was Triantafili Kalogera(s) from Ascasa, Greece a village near Sparta (Lakonia).Many of her family (nephews, etc) still reside there. My question to you is as follows:
Triantafyllou Kalogeras came to the USA in 1911. On the ships manifest, she listed That she was going to live with her sister: "T. (or) D. Panayotopoulos who lived at 132 Pearl Street in Baltimore, MD., Obviously the sister was a Kalogeras that married a Panayotopoulos.
By any chance, can you or anyone on this board connect the Panayotopoulos name which very eaisly could be misspelled by the ships crew upon her entry, to your Panagiotakos family?
I do believe there may be a connection since we are all talking about their originating from the same general area in Greece.
Any information would be most appreciated. I could also send you scanned copy of the ships manifest for you to see if you read the horrible handwriting The same as I do.
Sincerely,
Despina Lalas
