SEWELSON/SEVELSON in the US

X-No-archive: yes
Dear folks
I have written before about our family reunion re SEWELSON/SEVELSON but am making another plea for assistance.

My mother in law (Gertrude nee Sewelson) insists that she had family in Minneapolis but is unsure if it is from her Toff family or her Sewelson or Mark family. I thought perhaps Philadelphia was also a likely bet.

Her cousin, Jules Sevelson, has a nephew and niece in California and Gertie has Toff and Sewelson cousins also in California but it is her father's brother and his family we cannot locate. He would have left Papile or Telz in Lithuania between 1900 and 1925 about the time his brothers went to South Africa and England (1919 and 1911) and he may have changed his name from Shavelovich/Shevelovich to some anglicised form. I have tried all sorts of searches and come up empty and of course he may have died without issue. Ellis Island has thrown up no clues but I keep on trying.

Anyway, you detectives out there may have some clues for me. If not, fine - I do enjoy reading all the stories you have and love the hunt.
Many thanks
