I have a question regarding my last name of Scordakis. To me it is obviously a name that has come from Crete. My grandfather came from Messinia and my family insists that our heritage is from the Peloponnese. They also state that there are many Scordakis in the Peloponnese. I ask this question because I am interested in joing a Creten society here and the family thought I should be joining one for the Peloponnese. I can't make sense of why the family thinks their ancestry doesn't come from Crete. Any insight would be helpful and also please let me know if I am wrong about this origination.
