Age
Hi Diana, I understand you have a link from Ancestry.com placing the birth in 1918, however, nothing else supports that. Everything else I found on the web supports 1928. Grk1011 (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

CORRECT BIRTH DATE OF METROPOLITAN IAKOVOS
1918 is the correct date as indicated on ancestry.com This corresponds with his father's age, date if marriage, and birth dates if the siblings. PLUS we were personal family friends with the entire family. The birth date of 1928 is INCORRECT. Diana L. Stevens (talk) 01:28, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
