Diane Jacobs #653016 I prefer my husband's quote when describing me as a genealogist. She is more interested in the dead than the living. Just in case this resonates with others from Lithuania, after 20 years of searching for my maternal grandfather's family, I have learned that Singman in NYC and Wash. DC were not Schimkov as stated in there 1888 passenger manifest from Vilna, but Sinko or Shinke from Gelvonai, Sirvintos and Jonava. Anyone with similar names, please contact me. Thanks.
