Dear All, I have been a silent member of this list for a few years now as I have searched for my ANSELL/POSENER family in England. Two years ago I was contacted by an unknown family member after he randomly googled his son's name to see where the son was playing chess in a tourament. The son's name Simon ANSELL is the same as our mutual ggfather whose details I had placed on Rootsweb British-Jewry some years prior as I strived to confirm that this was indeed my long lost family. To cut a long story short, we ecstatically swapped all relevant information, and a visit from the UK to New Zealand has taken place, and we are now trying to confirm other details. Today I searched Simon ANSELL in the JC Archives to discover the following reference: Archive JC AUGUST 12 1898 Page 1 DIAMOHD, sister of Mr. Simon Ansell of 18,14*tria-park, Manor-rd, Stamford-hill,sister of Iraac Aniell, This appears to be ? DIAMOND, (name previously unknown but possibly DIAMOND) sister of Simon and Isaac Ansell, my ggfather and his brother. She was rumoured not to have immigrated to England but remained in "Russia" To retrieve the full detail I would need to subscribe to JC. Would there be anyone out there already subscribed who would consider performing a RAOGK by retrieving this information for me? I am happy to repay/reciprocate in whatever is an appropriate way. Thank you. Regards, Sonya Mitchell/ANSELL New Zealand
