Children
of
George
and
Katy
The
names
of
George's
children
were
written
down
at
birth
with
different
spellings.
The
story
goes
that
as
each
child
was
born
and
the
nurse
or
other
person
asked
for
information
for
the
birth
certificates,
it
was
learned
that
the
Greek
Immigrant
could
not
spell
his
name
using
the
English
alphabet.
The
different
nurses
would
then
write
down
the
English
equivalent
of
"man
from
Crete",
spelled
differently
with
each
child.
