I want to thank all of you that replied to my "brick wall" emails and to give a progress report. Brenda's clue about Jacobs family at Enfield turned out to be correct. The entire family is buried there and the children never married so that ends that branch. On the Moscovitch side I did track down some grandchildren and great grandchildren living in Manchester and other great grandchildren living in Israel. I have been in contact with each of them and will meet the UK people when I visit next month. Ironically the oldest person did not know that her grandparents had any siblings and was truly astonished to hear about the rest of the family. Also learned where the Moscovitch family came from - Warsaw. Still trying to determine where the Jacobs family came from but getting closer. Since my emails I have added over 50 people to the tree by coming forward. I started this project in March and between my wife's side of the family and mine I now have 407 confirmed people from 6 countries. Two of the branches are traced back to 1720. The other four go back to the early 1800's so far. Hopefully some cemetery visits while I am in UK will clear up some other branches. Again. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Bob - you are probably correct that as the children never married there are no more descendants but it isnt always so ........... I have family that had children and (dont tell anyone) they werent married and the babies were adopted. So it might be worthwhile checking out - dont quite know how to do it but Im sure there are BJers who do - on one of the sites where you can put in the name of the family member and check out births from that person. Usually the men (sorry guys) who had illegitimate children with non-Jewish girls. Just food for thought.
