A friend of mine has been trying to find some details on her Grandfather who was married as Max Shuman but buried as (Snyderman) she thinks he died in 1973, she knows that he is buried in Boston in America. But she just keeps hitting a brick wall and cannot find any info anywhere. Any help or suggestions would be greatfully received. Thanks, Cherry

Do you know what his year of birth was? plus any other info you might know about him.

Do you think this is your max! Jennie was born in the Ukraine; and arrived in the USA, at the age of 15, as Chaje Mill, on Sept 2, 1904 - a week before her mother & 4 siblings. She and her husband, Max Shuman, lived on Frances Street in Everett, Massachusetts, for many years. They were the parents of 3 daughters: Anna (Mrs Irving Finkel); Lea (who died young); Norma (Mrs John Kaplan); and a son, Billy.

Information according to the Social Security Death Index: Max Snyderman was born December 25, 1907 and passed away April, 1975. He applied for his social security number in the state of Illinois. His last know residence was the town of Evanston, in the county of Cook in the state of Illinois.....not Boston, Massachusetts. His social security number is #337-16-7793. With this number more information can be applied for on the internet. This was the only Max Snyderman listed. Judy

Ahh....if he lived and died by the name SHUMAN, then one of the three listed below could be your man: MAX SHUMAN: Born: 05 Apr 1911 Died:May 1982 Last Know Residence: 01701 (Framingham, Middlesex, MA) SS number issued in the state of Massachusetts SS # 011-09-3886 MAX SHUMAN : Born: 22 Mar 1885 Died: Aug 1977 Last known residence: 03246 (Laconia, Belknap, New Hampshire) SS number issued in the state of Massachusetts SS #019-05-8951 MAX SHUMAN: Born: 19 Jul 1913 Died: Nov 1977 02136 Last known residence: (Hyde Park, Suffolk, MA) 02136 SS number issued in the state of Massachusetts SS # 028-10-3255
