Who is this couple? This picture was among some that my paternal grandmother had when she came to live with us in 1963 after my grandfather's death.  We assume this couple may be part of her side of the family, BEBETSOS .  My grandmother, Georgia Bebetsos, was born in Agios Ioannis Theologou, Municipality of Sellasias, Laconia, Greece and migrated to Chicago, Illinois, United States in 1916.  She left two brothers in Greece - Andoni and George Bebetsos.
