Lampros Gazis is the son of Panos Gazis and Agleki Vietos Gazis.

His brother, Apostolos Gazis came to the United Stated in 1904. Lampros came to America from Lefkos, Greece in the year 1910. Neither Apostolos nor Lampros wasted any time in finding a job, and keeping work required them to be on the move.

I could not find Apostolos after he arrived in 1907 nor Lampros when he arrived in 1910, then I found them both in September 1918, on Apostolos Gazis' U.S. World War I Draft Registration Card.

Lampros Gazis and Apostolos Gazis lived together after Lampros arrived
