Shmukler family registers
Original register images are reproduced here with the source text and an English reading. A surname in these registers is a name used in the record, not a reason to rename someone across the family history. The 1912 item is an index entry only: its original page is not held here.

Okhel / Yechiel Shmukler, 1912 birth index
Telšiai births, male act 11, LVIA 1226/1/2186. This is an indexed citation, not a reproduced original scan.
“Eliash b. Iosel, townsman of Ivye”
English: Eliash, son of Iosel, a townsman of Ivye, is named as father. A 1912 source entry may use Shmukler while later records call the family Shapiro; those source names are retained without flattening them into one spelling.
1903 Telšiai marriage
The original register is already posted under F-78 in the gallery and as a full opening; it has not been duplicated or removed.
אלי׳ בן יוסף שמוקלערEnglish: Eli, son of Yosef, Shmukler. This is the groom’s recorded name in the Hebrew marriage line. The surname Shmukler appears on both the Hebrew and Russian halves. The identity of the groom as Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro is established by the wider record set, not by expanding an abbreviation in this line.
