This is so cool!! The only thing I love as much as Monk is learning about my own and other families’ genealogy. Thanks for sharing, Shalhoubs :))

This interview is gold.

My family {both sides} came to America from Lebanon and or Syria in 1896! One side wound up in Massachusetts and the other side was from Terre Haute, Indiana... I can completely relate to you and your family 100%! God Bless

I LOVE her accent. Reminds me of my grandmother when she was alive hearing her talk. I miss her so much. MONK is my FAV show EVER. This history is a LOT of our history. Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing I wish I had done this with my grandparents.

I wonder if Tony knows how to speak Arabic?

She is hilarious

As I recall, Joseph Shalhoub came to America as an orphan from Lebanon in the 20's at ten years old and ended up in Greenbay Wisconsin. I don't think she's related to Tony Shalhoub.

Is this lady related to Tony Shalhoub? If so she has to be his aunt or something because she was born in the forties. Tony says he is second to the youngest in his family and this lady says she is the youngest in her family.

What an amazing lady.

Mr.Monk you're the best.Love your shows.

So awesome to document family history like this-- well done!

Tony Shaloubs father's name is Joe. Amy Shalhoub - Sister; Deborah Shalhoub-Landin - Sister; Dan Shalhoub - Brother; Susan Larkin - Sister; Sherry Matzdorff - Sister; Josie Lynn Adams - Daughter; Michael Shalhoub - Brother; Sophie Shalhoub - Daughter; Brooke Adams - Wife; Joe Shalhoub - Father; Helen Shalhoub - Mother. But, is this lady's brother Joe Tony's father?

Millions of people have stories like that or even more intriguing. My point is; where does the story lead that is of interest to the public? Is this Tony Shalhoub's family lineage?

wait, so, is she related to Tony Shalhoub by any chance (I don't remember whether she had mentioned his name)? Fascinating story by the way. :)
