3. Marouli Trifillis (b. late 1800s). She married Antonios Psomas and had a daugher Fani. Unknown who Fani married but she had three daughters Kaiti, Tatiana and Danae.
Notes from my great-uncle-
notes of Uncle George Rigos- The first cousin of Efrosyne, Marouli daughter of the wife of Peter (not Panayiotis but Petros) was married to Antonios Psomas. He was working for ESSO Pappas, a Greek subsidiary of EXXON. I met Marouli in Athens in 1952 when Fofo came so we get married, and she had a daughter by the name Fani. They lived in Nea Smyrna. Fani had three daughters, Kaiti, Tatiana, and Danae. Kaiti was the best lady in our wedding.
