Shapiro Family from Lithuania

Dear Lindy:
My grandfather, Menachim Mendel Shapiro, was born in Lithuania about 1873, married Chaye Sara Gaffin(ovitch) and had a cousin named Rae.She married Barney Torffield and had two sons and three daughters.One son, Marvin, was my friend and distant cousin growing up, and is now an artist living in Manhatten (NYC, NY.)I don't recall the names of his aunts, but Rose and Bessie have a fimiliar ring.There is a family genealogy at Schtetl(sp??).com for the town of Dusat, Lithuania.
I reviewed a letter written by Benjamin Adelman in 1980 in which he mentions his Aunts Emma, Rose and Dora and Uncle Abram.Benjamin's brother, Milton, was close to my family as we grew up.Benjamin and Milton's grandmother, Riva Gaffin was my paternal grandfather's sister.
The family genealogist is Saul Adelman.He's an astronomer at the Citadel (University) in Charleston, SC.
