Pisanis Family

My Grandfather, Nikita John Pisanis was born on the island of Leros, Greece (need to clarify, had no access to birth records once city council found out my dad, John Pisanis was the oldest child). He, Nikita is the oldest of about 7 to 9 much younger brothers sisters. Nikita and his brother, Manolis, these two did not want to join the Italian army, they considered themselves to be Greek, so they went into Egypt. They were traders there and then they or just Nikitas went into Indonesia. I went to Leros, Greece in 1993 and met several people there including a first cousin, Koula to my father, John Pisanis. I know that some of my family from Leros went to the mainland of Greece. Looking for anyone to help. Also, my Great-Grandfather's name I think (according to a picture I have, cannot read Greek), his name is "Alexandrie. When I was in Leros, Greece, the city council questioned whom I was and then my father. When my father informed them that Nikitas was HIS father, they literally closed all books in front of us and said no more info. In broken english. We later found out that the property my family owned was sold 3 yrs prior of 1993 by the government and according to the people on Leros, they are worried about my family seeking restitution. I ask anyone who know of a PISANIS or PISANI from Leos, Greece to write me and lets compare notes. Thank you!!
