1)
last
permanant
residence
-
Detroit
Michigan-
I
personally
have
no
knowledge
of
Peter
having
been
in
the
US
prior
to
his
permanant
immigration
-
however,
it
was
"tradition"
for
a
son
to
travel
to
the
US
for
a
time,
work
and
send
money
back
home
-
and
then
return
and
allow
a
younger
son
or
cousin
to
have
the
same
opportunity.
It
is
said
that
Peter
broke
tradition
by
his
permanant
immigration.
2)
Birth
Town
in
Greece
was
listed
as
Nagolopolis/Magalopolis
-
this
could
be
a
mis-spelling
as
often
occured
when
those
speaking
with
Greeks
(or
other
nationalities)
could
not
understand
what
was
being
spoken
-
i.e.
upon
arrival
and
processing
through
Ellis
Island
-
another
Greek
relative's
name
was
written
as
"Kretas"
simply
meaning
"man
from
Crete"......a
google
search
turned
up
nothing
that
resembled
this
"town"
in
Greece.
The
closest
word
was
"Megalopolis"
which
is
in
Arcadia....

revealed
several
Peter's,
this
was
the
closest;
however
several
Panagiotis
Tsekeris
are
shown
as
passengers
around
the
same
era.....it
may
be
difficult
to
pin
down
the
exact
date
and
ship!
