Cool, thanks for the link. Do you have a link to newspaper article (Philadelphia Jewish Exponent 04 July 1890, p.5) I've never seen it, they're the Baltimore Cohens, my great-great grandaunt Harriet Cohen married into the family marrying David I Cohen.
Harriet Cohen (1801 - 1889) married David I Cohen of the Maryland, Baltimore Cohens (about David's brother Jacob and Baltimore Cohens ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_I._Cohen_Jr.) on the 7th of July 1830 in Swansea, Wales.
Sorry, I know nothing about Jewish naming conventions I do know that the "I" in all the male Baltimore men means nothing at all. Jacob I Cohen wanted a way to differentiate himself from all the other Jacob Cohens and so he added an "I" which I suppose is quite a statement, "I". And so it became a family thing.
My thoughts on what I want to do with this information has evolved overtime. I'm going to collate all this information into an interactive media rich online family pedigree called "1773" both Jacob and Catherine Cohen were born in 1773 and the project will trace their lineal and collateral descent. It'll have bios, videos, photos. This project will tell the story of the Swansea, Wales Cohens from 1773 to now. It'll take in Wales, England, USA, Panama, Jamaica, Cuba, India, Australia, that's what I've found so far, and Cohens of all racial and ethnic groups. It's a documentary art project, I'm an artist:

"I've only come across info related to Jewish families in response to your post and recent information I saw last year about the need to archive information relating to Jewish communities in South Wales."
I'd like to hear more about this, are your family from Swansea?
This is one of the family's Jamaican estates (see link) my great-great grandfather Reuben Zaleg Felipe (Philip) Cohen (1810-1881) owned his son Fernando Cohen put it up for sale in 1901 it's called Cambria sometimes known as Cambrian (which we all know is latin for Wales/Welshman). It's 415 arches about half the size of Central Park.
