The Shultz Family

The Alpert-Epstein-Shultz family is related through Harold's paternal grandfather. He has computerized and updated the genealogical research conducted by Belle Sewelson. To get a copy of the ship manifest that includes Harold's grandmother Zelda Shultz coming to the U.S. in 1901 with her mother Bella Beller [the connection to the Beller/Miller branch] and her young sons Nehemia (Nat) and Abraham or to contribute information or to get a copy of the tree, contact him at hmshultz@yahoo.com. He'll send you a disc to upload the information or you can buy the "Family Tree Maker," software to upload the data yourself.

Here's connections to Shultz cousins' websites – please let us know of more links and news:

Emil Schafer had a letter to the editor in the August 28th, 2003 Los Angeles Times:
Re "Attack on U.N. Will Fuel the Suffering of Middle East," Commentary, Aug. 24: Bouthaina Shaaban suggests that, with the killing of the United Nations chief envoy to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, in Baghdad, the region has lost a champion of peace and caused the suffering of the Middle East to increase, yet she forgets that her country, Syria, has been in a state of war with its neighbor Israel since 1948. Israel was created by the decision of the members of the U.N. to partition the British mandate of Palestine into two areas, due to the conflicting claims of Muslims and Jews. Syria, together with other Arab countries, immediately attacked the decision of the U.N. and attempted to destroy the nascent state of Israel. Shaaban says that the "inferno in the Middle East could easily spread because of the injustices to which [Arabs or Muslims] are subjected and because of using power instead of understanding and resolve to deal with murky issues." Which injustices?
Syria and other Arab countries have used power and war to try to achieve their goal: the destruction of a state created by a vote of the U.N. They have attacked this U.N.-created country constantly since its creation. Where is the "understanding" to which she refers? Where is the Arab desire for peace? Regardless of cease-fires, barely observed treaties, etc., peace will come between Jews and Muslims only when the Muslims decide to live in peace with Israel.
