Never seen this asked before!

I suggest 2 things. Firstly have a quick look and see if any other members have same names in their tree. You can do this by using 'search all trees', found in search box above right.
Secondly, have you done a google search for your query?
I found this site, it has a few links:

The only Christostomous in Search Trees is Marina's own ancestor, but there are 3 other people with Parassaki, so, as Jan suggested, contacting them would be a good place to start.

I looked for Ancestry trees, and I suspect one of them is yours! It seems the couple who have these names were born in Kos about 100 years ago.
Do you have any contacts in Greece? If not I would cultivate some, Some kind person might well help you out. Either locals or Brits - It struck me that there just have to be ex-pats living there. Try Facebook or google 'ex-pats Kos'.

When unsure, look at Cyndist List.

my cousins who are stuck like me.no more living relatives in greece anymore sadly.
would just love to go down that road would be very interesting i should think.once again thanks for your help to you all. marina :-)

Marina ,
you might like to take a look at this web site; www.daddezio.com. Appears to give lots of information about how to research family in Greece and where to go to find records.
