From Wiki: "Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by the family of Paul Jobs and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) of Mountain View, California. Paul and Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti. Jobs' biological parents­Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian Muslim immigrant to the U.S., who later became a political science professor at the University of Nevada and is presently a vice president of Boomtown Hotel Casino in Reno, Nevada, and Joanne SCHEIBLE (later Simpson), an American graduate student of SWISS AND GERMAN ANCESTRY, who went on to become a speech language pathologist­eventually married. The marriage produced Jobs' biological sister, novelist Mona Simpson; the two of them first met in 1986 as adults and enjoyed a close relationship since, with Jobs regularly visiting Simpson in Manhattan. From Simpson, Jobs learned more about their birth parents and he invited his biological mother Joanne to some events. Jandali claims that he didn't want to put Jobs up for adoption but th! at Simpson's (Scheible's) parents did not approve of her marrying a Syrian. Jandali's few attempts to contact Jobs were unsuccessful; Jobs did not contact his biological father either. Jandali gave an interview to The Sun in August 2011 when Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple; Jandali also mailed in his medical history after Jobs' pancreatic disorder was made public that year. " Joanne SCHEIBLE's ancestry seems very close to our Germanna SCHEIBLE family. ?????
