I started recording our family tree (without the use of a computer) back in 1986 as part of a bar mitzvah project for my eldest son, Daniel. My late mother Elizabeth (Bessie) nee Isaacs was staying with us at the time and provided from memory some 300 names. She told me that her uncle, Sollie Isaacs, together with one of his uncles, had gone from synagogue to synagogue in London and traced the family back to the late 1600's when Oliver Cromwell allowed the Jews back into England. Unfortunately his records were never found but I always had hopes of equalling his achievement. Now, with the help of the Internet and research by other family members, we have not only found that lost information but discovered records of our ancestors going back to the 15th. Century.
While space on this web site is no longer limited, as yet I've been unable to include all notes and citations.
Those of you who are interested in obtaining further information on family members are more than welcome to contact me and I'll be happy to share any data in my possession. I hope you enjoy the site.
Best wishes

PLEASE NOTE:
No records are shown for any living individuals nor for those not recorded as being deceased. As the web site is not just for a single family name, this will obviously make it difficult, if not impossible, to trace the relationship between the various family branches, or even for living individuals to find the initial link, but the general concern regarding identity theft makes this step necessary. My apologies to all researchers who are inconvenienced. Interested parties may get in touch with me directly by email.
Kind regards
Lynn Lewis
