Greetings,
I am interested in finding more information of living family. I know that my great grandfather Aaron Barnett Diamond was naturalised in Ireland in the 1800's he married a lady Julia Humphyries. They had several children my grandfather was William Henry born 26.01.1888. Aaron travelled to Africa to fight in the Boer war and when it ended in 1902 he decided to remain in Africa his family joined him, (here my information is sketchy as I do not know if they all came to Africa or not). Aaron was the first person to build a synagogue in the city of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and then in Elizabethville in the Congo having found the first tsetse fee route to travel from Northern Rhodesian to Congo.
I will be visiting Ireland shortly and would like to see some of this history or even the places they lived, William was born in Barrack Street.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
Thanks
P.
