Even though I have never been to Spetses, I do hope to get there in the future. I was very pleased to see the feature of adding a blog. I have family from the Island, but only met in the last few years. My grandfather was Georgios Thymaras, son of Dimitri and Stamatina. He immigrated to the United States and was about to return to Greece when he died. There were eight children born to George and Pearl, but only one now remains alive. The last one dying in December 2010. I wanted to create this blog in their memory. Because none of the American Thymaras family members ever met family till just a few years ago, it has been a real treat to get to know them. I would really like to hear from other members of the family or friends of our family.
