My maternal grandmother was born in Filiatra in 1897. She and her mother and sister emigrated to America on the ss Macedonia in 1912. Her father, my great grandfather had already come to America in 1900 on the ss Rotterdam. Once in America, they all settled first in Chicago and then Harvey, IL a south suburb. Grandma;'s stories about her hometown were wondeful. She recounted the Plateia and large clock in the tall tower. The family there was Bakopoulos.
