Going further back I don't know where they're from, but have assumed the usual story of the diaspora followed by being pushed ever further east in Europe during the Middle Ages. One would probably have to go very far back (close to 2000 years?) to find ancestors in Israel.<br />I actually have cousins in Israel (though we're no longer in touch), but they're from my mother's side.Daniel Shavirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710628584922961682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208928.post-92140598733086590312009-11-21T17:25:00.624-05:002009-11-21T17:25:00.624-05:00hi daniel,

I am pretty sure that...That's interesting,עירית<br />I am pretty sure that there are no Shaviros in the U.S. except for my immediate family. But I saw a sign that said "shviro" when I was visiting Tel Aviv recently.<br />Is your husband's family from the former Soviet Union? "Shaviro" was an Americanized version of my father's family when they left Belarus for the U.S. around 1920.Daniel Shavirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710628584922961682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9208928.post-84586156753599264272009-11-17T15:42:30.720-05:002009-11-17T15:42:30.720-05:00hello Daniel.
