My late grandmother Annie (Sophia) Dunn (maiden name Lewis) she had a relation who once upon a time lived in the Hove area of Brighton, and I got in touch with the Schul and they gave me her ex husbands phone number in Hove and I contacted him, and he told me that his ex wife Elizabeth Conway had moved to south africa, and then she moved to Florida and now lives in california she must be in her 80's or so now. But of this ancestor who lived in hull, in either the area of myton or holy something like that, I will have to find this information and send it to you. But my late grandfather solomon frank dunn who was married to Annie (Sophia) his father was called Abraham and he was a rabbi back in russia or lithuania I suppose. Have you looked on the Jose Gustein.com site he is based in florida, usa, and he has been doing the Dunn/Donn/Don site, and he has found out a lot of information on them. Also my dad married out the faith, and of course as you know it didnt go down very well, which is such a shame, but I have half jewish blood in me which I am proud of. And also he never mentioned anything about his family to me, as when you are a child you never ask questions. But it is only what my mum has told me. So now I have been reading books on A History of the Jews The Jews of Britain 1656-2000 which is an interested read. And since I have been doing our family on both sides of my family, I have found cousins some of who I never knew existed. At the moment I have started a home learning course on British Social and Economic History 1700-1900. Yesterday I went out on a coach trip with 3 friends from my club to these gardens and outlets, and I met up with some americans who were over from Utah which was nice. If I hear anything from my relations in queens i will let you know. Regards Elaine Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
