Cynthia Spurgat Jacobson, a founding member of IGAL, has always been intrigued by the surnames that end in -a. Her extensive research resulted in a 600 page fully cited book, The Three Spurgat Families from Wylkowiszki in 2010 and a 200-page Addendum in 2015, and a second addendum, mostly focused on family members who did not emigrate in 2022.
