What follows is an email thread between Paul Campanis and Nick Sfakianos in September 2003:
Paul Hi !
I am sending you a picture of the only relatives of your Grand father Emmanuel
Kampanis.
The Groom's name is Stamos I. Kampanis On his side is his mother Irene who
was from HIOS Island. Behind her you can see Stamo's brother Emmanouel I.
Kampanis, who was
Deaf and also he was not talking. But he was a good shoemaker.
They all have past away. Stamos was one of my best friends. We use to go to
Tavern together and he was a good singer.
Anyway I asked about your grandfather's relatives, and I fount that Stamo's
Father was first cousin of your grand father Emmanouel and Pompis of course.
So Stamos is Second cousin with your father and Stamo's children (2 daughters.
One is married with children) are 3nd cousins with you.
I am not sure if you are interesting. I just thought that I should relate
these to you.

Hello Nick:
This is very interesting. My grandfather's (Emanual Kampanis) father was Paul
Kampanis.
If cousins share a common grandparent (paternal granparent in this case) then
I Stamo's father is most likely Paul Kampanis's brother.
Do you happen to know the name of Stamos I. Kampanis' father?
Do you happen to know the year that this photo was taken?
Thanks,
Paul
Paul Hi!
Stamo's father was John Kampanis and he was 1st cousin with John P Kampanis
(POMPIS) and Emmanouel P Kampanis (Your Grand father).
His Grand father was probably Emmanouel, this is why Stamos's Big Brother
was also Emmanouel.
Stamos name was given probably from his Mother's father, Irene (Who was not
Nisyrian. She was from CHIOS island)
In my opinion:
Emmanouel Kampanis and Paul Kampanis were brothers: ( I am assuming their
father was John)
Emmanuel Kampanis: Son John Kampanis
