According to Jewih Gen, Sanel Khin, son of Aron and Leya (nee Balkind), a baker, died in Skuodas of liver disease in 1867. Another Sanel Khin, the son of Aron Khin, lived in Skuodas in the early 1900s. In 1903, Sanel, then aged 35, appeared in the Rabbi Electors record of Skuodas. In 1905, the same Sanel Khin, whose date of birth is noted as 14 May 1868, was listed as a trader with 50 rubles in the postal savings bank. By 1912, Sanel, age 45, was listed as living in Courliandskaya Street in Skuodas. He was a baker and had 250 rubles in the postal savings bank. Sanel had a brother named Nesanel, also living in Skuodas, who had a family with seven members and was listed as a poor homeowner in 1904. A Gershen Khin also appears, who seems to be the son of Sanel. Gershen was 13 years old in 1913, and had one ruble in a postal savings account.
