Hello, my name is TOM MURREN, and I too am a SHUART descendant....my family also hails from BERGEN COUNTY, NJ & ROCKLAND/ORANGE CO's NY areas.....I personally grew up in Pompton Lakes, NJ.
My study to date is "trying" to tie the various SHUARTS OF NORTH AMERICA together....and to date, I have over 900 relatives with the Sjoert/Shuart/Shurt/Shurte surnames in my study.....basically in two distinct branches (yet untied)...and a few other stragglers (still yet untied to the 2 main branches). It is my belief, we are ALL tied together.
I noticed your post on this thread, and I noticed I don't have any details on your immediate family in my genealogical database. Would you be willing to exchange information?
My email is
buzzcut_bear@yahoo.comThanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
TOM MURREN
