Is your statement that surnames beginning with SH were often documented as SZ , or could you refer me to references that would back that statement up?I'm asking because I wonder if I might have found my grandmother's immigration documents. Her progeny knows her as Sophia Shatevich (originally from Klenovka and later from Vilnius, Lithuania), but the immigration records I found were forZofia Szatewicz from Klenowke, Russia.I had been told she was born on August 10 or 20, 1886 and her date of arrival was December 25, 1911 (and I understand she arrived in NY); but the immigration records indicate Zofia Szatewicz was 20 years old and arrived on December 22, 1911.I have been unable to find a list of ships (and manifests) arriving on December 25, 1911, to check related info.
