According to Hana Shaf-Brener, there were five Zaks families in Shkud.

Tova Zaks (nee Milman), born in 1875, the widow of Shmuel, had a 38-year-old daughter, Doba.

Azriel Zaks, “the blind,” aged 42, the son of Shmuel and Tova, was married to Feiga, 36.  They had a son, Shmuel, 12.

Chana Zaks, 62, was single. Baruch Mayer Zaks, Tuvya Zaks, and Yitzak Zaks had families.

According to Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters Lists database, the Zaks family – quite a large one – was already established in Skuodas in 1846. Taube Sheyna Zaks, daughter of Gershon, born 1 June 1875, a tradeswoman, appears in the listing for 1903. Baruch Mayer, son of Abram, appears in the 1912 and 1914 listings; he was born about 1870, seemed well-off, and had a grocery and haberdashery business in 1914. Sora, his daughter, worked in the same business.

According to Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database, Azriel Zaks, son of Shmuel and Taube, age 35, married Khasa Feige Melamed, 35, daughter of Aron David and Sore Rive in 1925. Tobias Zaks, a merchant, born to Gershon and Sheva in 1881, married Tsira Khatskelson, daughter of Nochum and Teme, age 29, in 1924. Josel Itzik Zaks, 41, son of Gershon and Gite Seve, married Feige Vaks, daughter of Itsik and Leya of Tryskiai in 1931.

Tova Zaks, Azriel Zaks, Baruch Mayer Zaks, Chana Zaks, Tuvya Zaks, and Yitzak Zaks appear in Jewish Gen’s Yizkor Book Necrology database.
