Hello Betty,

I've just started assembling my family hsitory and came across your posting.

My mother (Soultana) immigrated from Greece to the United States in the mid 1950's. Her maiden name is Xenakis. Her mother (Koula) came over in the early sixties. Her father John was killed in WWII.

My mother lived in Woburn MA, Haverhill MA, and Nashua NH until her death in 1981.

Regards,
John Scumniotales

Thank you for sharing your info with me. Do you have any details about where your mother and her family lived in Greece.

My father came from a small village near Kalamata in the Peloponese called Anthousa.

I have heard that this name is a Creton name and we are trying to figure out if we are in fact, Creton, and not Kalamatiane.

Where from?

My grandfather, Dimitrios Xenakis was born on the island of Khios in 1900... However, the name Xenakis has Cretan origins, as it is noted in Cretan "history".

Hi Patricia,

Sorry it has taken a while to reply. I do know several John Xenakis' from Chios. It is a very popular family name. Do you happen to know a village where I could narrow the list of possibilities. Also, please feel free to reply directly to jmxenakis@yahoo.com.

Sorry - There may be a bit of confusion here. My name is also James Xenakis. I am from Massachusetts. There may be another person out there with the same name.

Hi James,

I just know that his mother was named Maria and father Constantino, and a sister called Elena. I do not remember the village. It was about 40 years ago. The father also had a brother named James who was married to a Katherine and had two sons John and Jimmy who did lived in the US. I think James and Katherine went back to Chios when he retired.

Thanks for responding.

I am looking for info on my grandmother and grandfather from Chios, Greece. Dimitrios (James) Xenakis was born 14 September 1900 (unoffical) from Chios and died 1982 in the USA. His mother was Kalliope MENTONIS and his father was John XENAKIS. He immigrated to the U.S.A. 1924 ? He worked aboard the ship "Edison", bringing immigrants back & forth to the USA from Greece. Katherine (Catherine or Caterina) VLATTAS XENAKIS was born 12 March 1913 and died 4 June 2000. Her mother was Angelika ALEMIS and her father was Emanuel VLATTAS. They immigrated to America in 1931. She had a wealthy family in Greece and left when the Turks were taking over Chios, so I am told. They had 2 sons: John Xeankis (my father) and Stanley Xenakis (my uncle). Have a great day.
