Four generations. Two continents. One unbroken thread.
Where it began
The story of the Makridis family begins with Panayioti and Despina — a couple whose children would carry their name across borders, through hardship, and into the lives you see recorded here. Their daughter Maria and son George represent two very different paths this family would take.
"A family's story is not just who was born and who died — it is everything in between."
