Hi, Kimberley!
You are no longer the only Yavners in Canada.Two years ago my family moved to Ontario. I'm sure that will cause a nice bit of confusion for future generations of Yavner genealogists.:)
My husband's greatgrandfather, David Yavner, son of Meir, came from Shavel, Russia, which is now Siauliai, Lithuania.His sister, Fruma, said the family was from Grinkiskis, Lithuania. I haven't seen a map of Lithuania to see how close those to places are to each other.
Does your father know the name of his grandfather?I don't know much about Simon Yavner's descendants, except that one or two of his sons moved to Montreal.
