[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
There is a problem with Mariora as recorded by Argenti since her children were born before her! Petros may have married a Mariora Vouro but perhaps not this one (or he may have had children with another wife and then married Mariora). Is 20 Jul 1832 a marriage date rather than a birth date?
