This is to clarify the family tree of James Achilles Alefantis (age 42, DOB 10/24/1974), for the record.
Father: Achilles Louis Alefantis (age 71)
Mother: Susan Reid Shoemaker (age 70) (Achilles and Susan divorced 2008)
Brother: Louis John Alefantis (age 46) married to Sharon A. Dow (I think recently from the pictures posted). Sharon has a daughter Paige, freshman in high school.
Grandfather (on Alefantis side): Louis George Alefantis (1915-2001).
Grandmother (on Alefantis side): Helen [Rappas] Alefantis.
Uncle: George Louis Alefantis (brother to Achilles Louis).
Cousin: (son of George Louis Alefantis & Joanne M. Alefantis): Timothy G. Alefantis married to Christine Marie Alefantis (not sure of maiden name). It appears Tim & Christine have 4 boys: Jonah, Logan, Evan, & Connor (info about boys from the obituary posted, a school swimming roster, and a picture)
I'm not sure about whether he has cousins on his mom Susan Shoemaker's side.

Thank you for this, I will take some time later today to update the PDF (I'm the one who compiled it). I also recently found in Newspapers.com an article on Helen Pappas Alefantis' involvement with the Daughters of Penelope, a Greek-American women's civic organization and will need to add that into the notes.

Pappas like the Pappas brothers of Pappasitos and Pappadeaux?
