I am one of four daughters of Mary Combes/Coombes (Maiden name). Her parents were Anastasios & Spiridoula Combes/Coombes. They immigrated in 1924 on the 'Largs Bay'. They spent their first few years at Tenterfield with Anastasios' brother, George. George, the eldest of 4 brothers had first immigrated in 1912, and had owned the Paragon Cafe in Tenterfield. If you have any information on my family, I would be glad to hear about it!

My grandparents' (John and Helen Cassimatis) visit in 1953 from the US may have been the occasion for this picture. He is seated and bald with round glasses, holding a shotgun. She is in the center with a plume in her hat. Also pictured are Kyra Viola Torakis (behind two boys near front), and her sons Matthaio and Niko (back row).

I am adding this Detroit picture ,as there are many of the same people as in the Georgopoulos pictures. This is in 1945 at a "Tsirigitis" gathering in the Detrooit area. I am the little guy on the riding horse in front of all the adults sitting. I can identify probably only 1/3 of the people. I will try on the 2 blow-ups of this in the other pictures I am adding.
