Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Fannie SCHWARTZ maiden name ? From Russia to USA via .Scotland and ??I

Hi. The guy with the DNA connection here:
Part of the issue we're facing is that Nellie/Naomi had a bunch of siblings, all with very common names, some were anglicized from their Hebrew/Yiddish names, others were just chosen arbitrarily.
Fannie's mother:
Chaya Rivka ________ (never immigrated)
Father unknown (never immigrated). Right now we've got Friedman as the missing surname here, but to be honest, I don't remember where I got that from, and I think it came from gov't records, not a first hand source.
Naomi's Parents:
Aaron Schwartz (entered via NYC)
Fannie ________ (entered via NYC)
Naomi (b 1901) (entered via NYC ~1904-1908)
Her siblings, it is unclear how many of them immigrated vs were born in the US. Naomi was among the oldest children and came here as a toddler.
Jean
Anne
Mo
Morris
Eppie
William
Sophie
Nita (confirmed youngest b USA 1909)
Those are the official siblings, names were given from Naomi's daughter (still living). From what I can tell from this conversation, there is a strong possibility we've combined two families who adopted strikingly similar names.
