Nick,
Are you certain that this is the precise surname because I am not aware of any such family name from Castellorizo?
Other similar names are Limiou or Limniou, Leondis, Leontidhou...
Let me know if you have further information.
Ioannis Sergis, also known as 'Yiannifos', owned a cafe in the central square of the town. Is this who you refer to here?

Nicholas, thanks for your response
What I do know for sure is that my Yaiyai was Maria Sergis, daughter of Georgios Ioannou Sergis and Panayiota Atherinou , this I am certain of as my Auntie Helen and Eva - nee sergis told me so and also the first names have been passed down through the family.
Now through another geneology site, i am told that Georgios's father was Ioannou sergis who married a Maria Leninou. I know nothing of them and no-one in the family seems to know for sure unless she was not from Castellorizo.
I would like to know if it is correct as it completes another piece of my family tree.
Kind regards
Nick

Nick,
Yes, you are correct about your great-grandparents, Yeorgios Ioannou Sergis and Panagiota Theodosiou Atherinou, who married on the island on 22 January 1917.
Yeorgios' father was definitely Ioannis Sergis who was also known as 'Yiannifos'. The family owned and operated a cafe in the central square of the island for many years, something I am sure you have heard through your family.
If I find anything about Ioannis' wife's family, I will let you know via this Forum.
Nicholas
