Hello .... I wonder whether anyone may have some good advice for me to follow??
I have only just found out (after a long time) that my ancestor was European Jewish. Where do I go from here?
He was apparently born in Crawley - I suppose then the possibility is that his parents were from Europe somewhere ... but where!!!
No birth or marriage exists for him - is this because his records might be held in a synagogue? I strongly suspect (because of his age) that he had 2 marriages - possibly the first one was to a Jewish lady - the first 3 children are not registered, but the next 4 are registered in York where he appears to be married (possibly to a second wife)!
What a mess .... how do I manage to make any progress from here??
ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE INVALUABLE.
Many thanks to all
Jay
