A List of Curated Genealogical Posts
This page collects selected essays from my genealogical research.
These posts are not exhaustive family trees, but case studies—built from records, memory, and the limits of both. I include only work where sources, uncertainties, and interpretive choices are made explicit.
Recent Work: Fred Green
A focused reconstruction of Fredrick Philip Green’s life, tracing one family line across Sweden, Lithuania, and the United States, with attention to where records and family memory diverge.

A source-based sketch of Hyman and Sarah Shore, tracking census, manifest, and cemetery records while noting the inconsistencies in ages and dates across documents. A source-driven reconstruction of Avrum Saranduk’s line, weighing Revision Lists from Talne and Torgovitsa and the open question of whether “Avrum Nikhem” is the same man. Tracing Philip (Pinhas) and Netty Shore from Katerynopil to Providence through passenger lists, naturalization records, and family oral history of their escape. Tracing Velvel (Wolf/Volko) Saranduk from Talne to Buffalo and California, this post examines how one close branch of the Saranduk family diverged from the Shore surname, highlighting the limits and contingencies of genealogical reconstruction.
