According to Hana Shaf-Brener, there were six Segal families in Shkud.

1) Moshe Segal, 65, son of Berl, and his wife Ella, 63, worked in a grocery store. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters lists reports that Moshe Segal, son of Berl, was a dealer in crockery and groceries in 1914. The document “Jews in the Memory of Skuodas People” (see link this page) lists Mausha Segal under “Colonial Trading” (tea, tobacco, cotton, and other “colonial” products) in its business directory (19).

2) Ita (nee) Segal, 30, the daughter of Moshe and Ella, lived with her husband and five-year-old daughter in Alytus.

3) Binyamin Segal, 32, son of Moshe and Ella, lived in Kretinga with his wife. Their children were Bella, 5, and a 3-year-old son. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1938 marriage of Benjamin Segal, born in 1909 to Mausha and Yenta (nee Bloch) of Kretinga, to Beila, daughter of David Khode and Mashe (nee Gan) Rash of Kretinga. [The record is confusing, because two years earlier, Mausha and Yente (nee Bloch) Segal lived in Skuodas when their daughter Pese Beile married Zelik Rits. And are Moshe/Ella and Moshe/Yente the same couple?]

4) Yakov Segal, 70, ran a hostel for the Burial Society. His wife was Batsheva (nee Fridman), 65. Their children were Rosa, 32, who was killed in Paris; Fruma, 30; a merchant son, 28; Avraham, born 1916; and Dora, born 1915.

According to Kehilat Shkud, Yakov Segal was an officer of the Burial Society: “Amongst the treasurers of the Burial Society were Aharon Bloch z”l, Leib Baskind hy”d, Yaakov Segal hy”d, Hersh Reichkind z”l, and Y. Yudelman z”l (27; see also 55). The document “Jews in the Memory of Skuodas People” (see link this page) lists Yankel Segal under “Colonial Trading” (tea, tobacco, cotton, and other “colonial” products) in its business directory; the store was on Ilgoji str. no. 12 (19).

Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Internal Passports database reports that Menuche Gotlib (nee Segal), daughter of Yankel, born in Skuodas in 1913, applied for a passport in 1937. The Lithuania Marriages database records the 1933 marriage of Frume Segal, born in 1910 to Yankel and Sheve (nee Fridman), to Bentsel Fogelman, born in 1899 to Shano Yudel and Ema.

5) Efraim Segal, 55, son of Berl, ran a public transportation business and owned the town’s only bus. He was married to Ida (nee Chazen), 44. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters lists reports that Ber Segal, son of Leyzer, was a coachman who owned a house in 1904; the Lithuania Deaths database records that Ber Segal, a coachman, died in 1933. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database informs us that Ber Segal was married to Khana. One of their daughters, Esther Rokhl, 26, married Hirsh Meyer Fisher in Skuodas in 1923. One of their sons, Mausha, 45, married Yenta Glaz in 1925. The database also records the 1924 marriage of Efraem David Segal, born in 1895 to Ber and Khana. Ephraim married Haye Hazen, born 1897, daughter of Meyer. The marriage took place in Priekule.

Kehilat Shkud provides some details on Ber and Efraim Segal: “Especially important was the stagecoach of Bere Segal (“the Prekulie-Traveller”), which had the concession to transport merchandise to and from the train, and to carry people to the train. After some time, Bere Segal and his son Ephraim Segal replaced their stagecoach with a large bus” (53). “The main connection between the railway station and the shtetl was Dov Segal z”l, known as “Bere der prekuler forer,” and his son Ephraim hy”d, the owners of a stagecoach for conveying passengers to the train and back. At a later stage the stagecoach was also modernized, and substituted for a large bus. The Segal family also had an elegant coach for special purposes and it served only exalted guests, arriving in Shkud from abroad, or put at the disposal of a groom arriving to see his betrothed” (Kehilat Shkud 13-14). “Jews in the Memory of Skuodas People” (see link this page) records that “Passenger transportation from the Skuodas railway station to the town centre (about three kilometers) was the business of Efroim Segal. He had a green stagecoach. This service was usually used by richer residents, mostly Jews, who were going by train to Kretinga, Klaipeda, Liepaja (a town in Latvia, around 70 kilometers from Skuodas), or Riga. Sometime later, Efroim Segal acquired a rival, because another Jew living in the old town, Gilder, also bought a stagecoach. He painted it red. Both had their clients” (10). In his memoir “My Little Town Shkud,” Leon Bernstein also recalls the Segals’ transportation business: [After the town was modernized], “Segal no longer drove his long, old-fashioned wagon to the train station, but brand-new buses.”

6) Gita Leah Segal, 65, a widow, had eight children: Mendel, 38, a grain merchant; Faivl, 36, a grain merchant; Leizer, 34, a grain merchant; two daughters, 42 and 40, who were mentally handicapped; Rosa, 32, a hatmaker; Henya, 28, a hatmaker; and Mina, 25.

Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters Lists database records the Segal family in Shkud from 1846. Jewish Gen’s Yizkor Book Necrology database lists Ephraim Segal, Tasha Segal, Tova Lea Segal, and Yacov Segal.

Some of the younger members of the Segal families belonged to one or more of Shkud’s youth groups:

In an article published in a Lithuanian newspaper describing a ceremony for those murdered in Skuodas in 1941, the author states that “the two Segal sisters [were] killed and buried at Alka Hill” (A. Straksys “No One is Forgotten,” Musu Zodis Nov 17,1966), but unfortunately does not provide the sisters’ first names.
