Has anyone any knowledge of this, and of any 18th/19th/early 20th century (or older) Jewish people in Dyfed? Interesting, Jennifer. I don't know much about it but I followed the ISAAC line which married into mine. They were certainly in Llanfihangel Ystrad CGN by c.1810. I believe some are buried in St Vitalis, Dihewid. Anne

Just thought of an earlier group, this one in Pembroke. Samuel LEVI married Mary BLEAR in Bristol in 1765 and their grand-daughter Mary Anne MAKEIG married my Simon DAVIES of Penbryn, who was a surgeon in Cardigan town. I was told that Samuel LEVI and his brother Moses came from Frankfurt-on-Maine, Germany, via London. They are thought to have joined other Jewish families in Haverfordwest PEM. There is quite a history to this group, and one of them may have set up a bank which survived until c.1826.
