Cousin Sandy has asked several times for more explanations about who fits where into this complicated family of ours. As Cousin Travis has now been dragged into our web I thought I should, perhaps, take another look at some of our ancestors.
I have ummed and aahed about putting names and dates on simply because of the paranoia that people happily share about identity theft. I will put a little bit about it in the next edition of the Gazette and then I will expect answers.
In the mean time let's take a look at the next generation of the Nathan family.
John Nathan, son of Samuel, married Sarah Green, daughter of Abraham HaLevi, at the Great Synagogue, London 20th August 1845.
Sarah was the granddaughter of Efraim Levi Green, who I am told be descendants came to England from Amsterdam in 1796 on a herring boat with his wife and two children.
I have not researched the Amsterdam connection yet, in fact I am hoping that someone else in the GREEN family will do that.
John and Sarah had quite a few children - 15 altogether.
