Nice to see your website about Skopelos.
I heard stories of my Grand-Grand-Father being a caiki captain from Skopelos. He is supposed to have married a girl from Mitilini, from Sykamies. Her name was Vasiliki. My Great-Great- Grandmother.
One of their sons, Grandfather George, went to Balia, Asia Minor, had many children, including MY FATHER, Evangelos Sabbas.
A very helpful fellow from Sykamies, Mitilini, contacted a friend of his, by phone, in 2005, and tried to locate Captain Katil Sabbas from Skopelos. No luck. These two men were civil servants, or elected City Officers. But records of around the year 1810 had been destroyed.
I will keep in touch.
Thanks,
