Surnames: Poulos--Papathopoulos
My name is William T. Poulos, my mother and father (who are now decessed were Peter and Irene Poulos (nee Daddas), both of my parents were of Greek descent. My grandfather and grandmother on my father's side were Perry Poulos who married Penelope Poulos (nee Tsiros). On my mother side my grandfathers name was "Daddas" which is Greek, but I am not sure what my grandmothers maiden name on my mothers side of the family was, I know it was Greek, and I know my mother told me many times. My father's parents were from Corinth, Greece, and my mother's parents were from the island of Samos, Greece. They came through New York or somewhere around the Atlantic seaboard to America. I believe it was them that Perry Poulos met Penelope Poulos (nee Tsiros) and they set up their home in Cleveland, Ohio. My Grandfather had three sons, two of which were born 10 months apart, my uncle Phillip, my father Peter, and twelve years later my uncle Dino. Perry had many businesses around Cleveland shortly before the Great Depression. I have more information, but based on all given thus far if anyone remembers those names and or locations please e-mail me at:
