Email from Linda Vogt (2/2/2022)
This was an email sent 2/2/2022 to me from Linda Vogt. I am using it as a source for research as well as branching of Demeter's Tree.
Hi Deamon George, I was surprised to see your Skapinikis ancestry site. My grandfather was Demeter Skapinikis (I thought his name was James, lol) and I never met him. He came to California and after being in construction in San Francisco, he established a restaurant in Colusa and sent for Heraklia. My mother was Mary Scapin, the only child of Demeter and Heraklia (who died at age 33 of TB when my mother was just 2). James went back to Skopelos and remarried and had 2 sons Spiros and Diamantis. They all remained in Greece, Spiros on Skopelos and Diamontis in Agrinion. Well that's pretty much all I know about that. Thanks to you, I now know my great grandparents' names. I believe from your "tree" that our grandfathers were brothers and you and I are 2nd cousins. I'd love to be able to follow this ancestry back farther. Thanks for the info! Linda Vogt
