Hello,
I am trying to do research on the Shaw family, originally from Syrian Arab Republic, and immigrated to the U.S around 1910. They settled in Brooklyn. Some of the names of this family are... Simon J Shaw b:1879 Syrian Arab Rep.
his wife Annie Shaw b: about 1893 Syria Arab Republic
I am having trouble, because I believe that their original surname was changed to Shaw, when they immigrated. Does anyone have any connection to this family, and or, have any idea what their original surname could be? Also, on Simon's world war II draft card, it states that he was born in the city "HADATALJEBY." However, I tried researching that city/town, and it doesnt appear to exist. Any insight, info, or advice, would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
THANK YOU!!!!!
