I'm especially interested in receiving the Solomon Israel Family Newsletter; and the DNA testing that seems to point to the Sephardic Jewish origins of the family. What do you know about whether we're related to folks (Salomon Israel, David Israel) who were in Barbados or Nevis, ca. 1680s-1708? Any information would be great. Thank you. Charles Israel, Jr.
