THIS IS A LONG SHOT!!! – BUT HERE GOES!!! – HOPE YOU CAN HELP !!!!!!!!
I have been on a long and hungry search for the SOUMAS surname from the Greek Islands for sometime now. Though I have received a few…and I mean just that “a few” return correspondences…HOWEVER! – I am still running into closed doors – I have a feeling I know why! – But I refuse to give up! I will be sending you a series of links about the SOUMAS surname here in the United States and Louisiana (my roots) that will “hopefully” bring me some networking information and certainly a link to my immediate SOUMAS family.
Please look at these attached links that I have provided for you to “possibly” assist me! (?) – Please know that I send my utmost apology if I have embarked on the wrong networking avenue for this project(s).

Hello, My name is Panderina D. Soumas and I am the author of a new self-published cookbook called Soumas Heritage Creole Cookbook. This cookbook is filled with legendary, historical, and ancestral legends of Afro-Creole culture through the Soumas Family in South Louisiana as well as cultural connections with Louisiana’s history from African slaves from French & Irish plantation era. I humbly and cordially invite you to visit Amazon.Com under my title – Click here: Amazon.com: buying info: Soumas Heritage Creole Cookbook and review my ratings and reviews to better enlighten you with this new cookbook.
I am presently attempting to market BookClubs – Bookstores – Cooking Clubs other sources of this business industry in hopes to purchase/cooking-speaking demos as a new wave of profitable entertainment within this networking media. I have found through networking with the food and cooking media it can open new and interesting avenues of promotional branches for this unique and collectable cookbook. I would be honored if your bookstore – club – and or business entity circle would allow me to forward a Professional Press Kit and make a consideration for future endeavors for book sales and appearances. Please know I regret not being able to forward a complimentary cookbook for your review. But the Press kit will include an order form as well as other impressive information needed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this correspondence. Please feel free to contact me if needed.
