Loutro, Messinia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loutro,_Messenia

[10/22/2016] I believe that the names of Yanis and Theodorakis Iliakopoulou are those of my great-grandfather or great-uncles on my father's side, although the suffix "-lou" is feminine and may have been taken from the mother's married last name; the suffix "-los" is the masculine and reserved for the man. My father's name was Constantin Eliakopoulos until 1945 when he changed it to Dean Elias. His father, my grand-father was Panos Eliacopoulos and Panos' name was changed from the Greek "Iliakopoulos" to Eliacopoulos" when he came through Ellis Island. Panos was from Loutro as shown on the Ellis Island manifest and supported by familial anecdotal records.


The second paragraph, History, on the Loutro, Messinia [1] page is complete gibberish and I suspect it was literally translated through some type of a online translator or the like. I'm hesitant to make any edits because I do not want to alter the context of what is being presented.


The edits I made were with regard to the names of my ancestors captioned above. Adam Miller is not even close to a Greek name and is highly suspect given the context of the discussion.
