Query Text:

I am looking for possible cousins, possible half brothers/sisters. My father was born in Greece in 1922 and came to US in the 1950s. He married my mom in the late 1950s. Our original family name was KOMINIS and my grandfather took a Turkish nickname(What does KARAISKOS mean in Turkish?) of KARAISKOS which became our family name. I'd like to know if we have any famous family members in the service, movies etc? Any information will be great. I am also looking for any family history of the last name of SHADLE which in researching several years ago I learned it comes from the German/Jewish border. I am also looking for any family history of the Sperides family so I can locate more about my Uncle Harry (Haralambos) who died in the Pittsburgh, PA area supposedly in a "paupers" field. He & my grandfather Nikolas & their brother John came to US from Greece to Chicago. They were Candy makers. They settled near ERIE, PA. My Uncle John was married in Chicago(I'd love info on that) and he had a lady friend in Erie, PA( I'd love to find her name and her grave in Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery)
