According to Hana Shaf-Brener, there were twelve Yankelovich families in Shkud:

1) Yakov Moshe Yankelovich, born to Leib and Beyla in 1895, was an active citizen of Shkud; his activities included selling tickets for ritual slaughter. He was married to Frida (nee Ber), age 33. Their children were Leizer, 11; and Eta, born in 1931. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1928 marriage of Jankel Jankelovich, born to Leiba and Beile (nee Fart) of Shkud in 1894. Jankel married Freida Ber, born to Jankel and Riva (nee Kirson) of Seduva. Kehilat Shkud desribes Yakov Moshe as a “prominent figure” (44) who was one of the founders of the Youths of Zion Association in Shkud (22; see also 54).

2) Yosef Yankelovich, 60, was the gabbai (treasurer) and shofar-blower of the New Synagogue. He was married to Leah, 55. The couple were killed trying to escape Shkud in the summer of 1941.

Yosef and Leah had a son, Shloime, 25, who was killed while serving in the Soviet Army’s 16th Lithuanian Division at Alexeyevka, Feb 1941. Shaf-Brener describes, “Shloime Yankelovich and his good friend from the Halutz [Pioneers], Abrasha Luria … were killed by a direct artillery hit near Oryol in February 1943. Their last words before their deaths were ‘It’s good to die for our country!’” (18).

3) Chaim Yitzak Yankelovich was married with a family.

4) Ita Yankelovich, 45, was an unmarried woman.

5) Mayer Mordechai Yankelovich, 51, son of Leib and Beyla, was a travelling salesman and ironworker. He was married to Sheyna Hana, 49, daughter of Shloime Tuvia and Shprintse. At some point before the war, the couple moved from Shkud to Sauliai.

The business directory of “Jews in the Memory of Skuodas People” (see link this page) lists Leiba Yankelovich, whom I am guessing is the father of Mayer Mordechai (both being ironworkers) under the heading “Iron and iron goods trading” (18), and further comments, “Some Jews in Skuodas owned quite a lot of land. One of them, Leiba Jankelovich, had around 30 (or maybe even more) hectares. The land he owned extended up to the river Bartuva. And even though for a long time there has been no Leiba Jankelovich, the people of Skuodas still call this big territory by the river Leibine, although most of them do not know where this name comes from” (10).

6) Moshe Yankelovich, 55, worked in the shoe industry. He was married to Freyda Mara (nee Glago), 35, daughter of Netanel and Sarah. Their children were Michal, born 1931; Chavita, born 1933; and Yokhl, born 1937. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1930 marriage of Mausha Yankelovich, 32, a merchant, son of Khaim Zundel and Menukhe (nee Samakh) of Skuodas. Mausha married Freide Mere Glag, 19, daughter of [illegible: Sa … ] and Sore Rimkind of Skuodas.

Kehilat Shkud recalls the shoe factory of Moshe Yankelovich as being located in the Old Town (52), and further explains, “[Gedalia] Abramovic, Moshe Yankelowitz and Moshe Leib Grinblatt were shoe producers in the Old Town. All together, the factories and craftsmen in the trade produced around 400 pairs of shoes a day” (13). “Jews in the Memory of Skuodas People” (see link this page) lists Mausha Yankelovich under the heading “Shoe workshops and factories” (20), and describes the business as a “smaller shoemaking factory with around 8-10 employees on Laisves Street, no. 61” (9).

Moshe’s son Leib survived the war: “Leiba Yankelovich, the son of the shoe factory’s owner, was appointed editor of the new local Skuodas newspaper ‘Pergale’ [‘Victory’]. The people of Skuodas remember him as a fair and righteous person” (“Jews in the Memory” 15).

7) Ben Tsion Yankelovich, 65, worked in the shoe industry. He was married to Mina (nee Glago), 35, daughter of Netanel and Sarah. They had a five-year-old daughter. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1937 marriage of Bencel Yankelovich, a cobbler, born in 1895 to Zundel and Menukhe of Skuodas. Bencel married Minde (nee Glag), born in 1911 to Sanel Sroel and Sore (nee Rakhkind) of Skuodas.

8) Yisroel Yankelovich, 60, was a widower and a “vat shtu” merchant. He had three unmarried daughters: Tsira, 31, nicknamed “Beauty;” Sarah, 34; and Etl, 37, who had a mental disability. (Note: am unable to decipher the meaning of “vat shtu,” spelled double-vov, tes; shin, tes, vov. Perhaps it is a nickname for either the business or Yisroel himself?) 

9) Abba Volf Yankelovich was married to Chana (nee Monivliski). They had a daughter, Ita, born 1933. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1924 marriage of Abo Volf Yankelovich, a merchant, born 1901 to Sroel and Khana of Skuodas. Abo Volf married Reize Montviliski, 22, daughter of Leib and Mariyasha of Shkud.

10) Alter Yankelovich was married to Sarah Rivka (nee Pilmayster). They had a son, Hirsh Leib, born 1933. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1932 marriage of Alter Yankelovich, 32, a butcher, son of Meyer and Ele (nee Heiman) of Skuodas. Alter married Sara Rivke Pilmeister, 33, daughter of Shloime and Feige of Skuodas.

11) Markus Meyer Yankelovich was married to Sheyna (nee Yoselovich). They had a son, Shloime, born in 1931.

12) Mayer Yankelovich lived in Shkud with his family.

Jewish Gen’s Yizkor Book Necrology database records the names of Bentzion, Chaim Yitzhak, Israel, Meir, Meir Mordechai, Moshe, Yacov Moshe, and Yosef Yankelowitz.

Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Directories database indicates that Aron Jankelevitz survived the war and was “found in Germany” in 1946.
