NEWS

In this spot, we'll provide links and/or news about the family. So keep in touch, and we'll keep the others in touch, too.

You may click on the somewhat new link (Baseball!) on the left just under "Contact Us" to see info about our family's affinity for and role in playing baseball (and softball). Underneath that link, you may click on the picture to see a larger view of Alice Shockman getting a hit in a family softball game in Fargo at age 80!

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY SITE!

Our family's name was originally Jacquemain, but the name has changed many times since our ancestors came to the U.S. from Luxembourg in the 1860s. Some other variations of the Jacquemain family name include:

	Jacquemin
	Jacquemenn
	Jackman
	Jackqueerin
	Schackman
	Sheckman
	Schuckman
	Chapman

From the index on the left, you may select "Origins" for more background. The section named "Descendants" contains many links to people, past and present, along with some photos.

Go to "N. America" for information and photos about the family's first settlers in the New World.

Basic information was documented via census records, birth certificates, citizenship declarations, and other sources. If you have any comments, corrections, or information to add about, please contact me (see info at top of page).

Researchers and major contributors include:

	Kathy Olson, Theresa Myers, Marlyce Helm, and Jerome Horsager (Minnesotans who descended from August, their line became known as Shockman).
	Bill Jacquemain (Oklahoma), who descended from Wilhelm (his line kept the original name).

Marcia Benedetto (Colorado), who descended from Nicholas (whose line became known as Jackman).

SCAM ALERT! Do not respond to a promotion for a book titled "The Year 2008 (or any other year) Shockman Family Yearbook," published by Maxwell and Christina Shockman, 1181 S. Parker Rd., Suite 105, Denver, CO 80231-2152. Internet research has revealed that other families have discovered similar scams by this outfit.
