Hi, Sorry i should've mentioned in my previous email, Joseph Ottolenghe converted from his Jewish religion to be a Christian. He instructed/taught Christianity in Georgia (Catechist). So i would be very surprised if he had a Jewish burial or is mentioned in American Jewish records. Thankyou for your thoughts on where i might find information. Cheers Merle TreeMother <[email protected]> wrote:Have you sent a message to the Jewish Genealogical Society? They have been working very hard on Jews in America and their history. You can find them on Cyndi's site of genealogical sources. There is a Jewish cemetery in Savannah. I would suspect your man could be buried there. Also would suggest looking at the Minis family and others who were prominent in Savannah as they would most likely have had contact either socially or in business manner with Joseph. Also in South Carolina there was a Francis Salvador who was Jewish and was a patriot in the American Revolutionary War. They may have had contact also since Savannah and Charleston are near each other and by boat easy travel. If Joseph remained a Jew, the synagogue in Charleston may have him in their records also. The term catechist has thrown me off regarding Joseph. Tree Mother "She is insane, of course. The family history has become a mania for her."

Dear Listers, Would you forward the following letter to any Fincher or Fincher descendants you might know of. At one time or another Finchers lived in your area, hopefully some still do. We really appreciate your help, Joy Fincher Atkinson Dear Finchers, We are at a brick wall in our Fincher Family Tree research. We can go back no farther than 1812 in our line, and I think a good many of you are having the same problem. It is generally thought that most Finchers in America are related but the proof is either lost, destroyed or just plain never existed. Recently, we found out about a new tool to determine whether or not we are related. Genealogy by genetics (DNA) is being used by many family organizations to determine kinship. It is now possible to determine how far back you have to go in order to find your most recent common ancestor. Armed with this knowledge, we have established a Fincher family DNA project with Family Tree DNA. A company that specializes in the use of DNA for genealogical research. The purpose of this project is to connect the different Fincher lines. We hope to break through the brick walls and establish the connection between the various branches of the Fincher family. Since there is documentation to connect certain lines to the original immigrant, Francis Fincher, we hope that DNA will connect other lines to him as well. The test is simple and painless. Your genetic test kit consists of a cheek scraper and a collection tube. In about five minutes, you will be able to read the instructions and perform a painless cheek scraping. The effect of using the scraper is about the same as brushing your cheek with a soft bristle toothbrush. A backup scraper and tube is included to insure that a good sample is obtained by the lab. They intend that you use them both! There are two requirements to participate in the DNA project: (1) you have to be male (because only men carry and pass along the Y-Chromosome) and (2) you have to have the Fincher last name from your father not your mother. Only one male needs to be tested from each Fincher line. Thanks to Ann Fincher's book, FINCHER 300 YEARS IN THE USA, there is now a published genealogy of most of the Fincher branches. In order to save money, you may wish to check with your kin to make sure that two men from the same line are not being tested. Family Tree DNA offers two possible tests, a 12 marker test for $99.00 and a 25 marker test for $169.00. The company suggests starting with the 12 marker test to establish kinship and later upgrading to the 25 marker test to find the most recent common ancestor. Since we suspect that most Finchers are kin, unlike Smiths or Joneses, it is probably more cost effective to order the 25 marker test to begin with. Since it cost $90.00 to upgrade the 12 marker test to the 25 marker test, there is a $20.00 savings to order the 25 marker test initially.

Dear List, I am researching Joseph (Guiseppe) Solomon (Ottolenghi) Ottolenghe who was an Italian Jew from England UK. He arrived in Georgia circa 1750/51 with his wife. In Georgia he was the super intendant of the Silk Industry, Catechist to the Negroes and a public servant & later senator of the colony in Colonial Georgia. He died in 1775. What i'm trying to find out is his wifes name & if he had children born in the Georgia or Savannah area between 1750-1775 or if he had children born in UK before his arrival. I also need an exact date of death in 1775 & possible burial place. Can anyone suggest where i might find possible shipping records into Georgia circa 1750/51? Would anyone have a copy of 'Deaths in the South Carolina Gazette 1732-1775' that they might be able to check for my Ottolenghe please? I'm also very interested in any early newspaper articles about Joseph Ottolenghe & his life in Georgia. Any help greatly appreciated. I live in Australia & am happy to do Australian research in return for any help. Cheers Merle --------------------------------- Try the new improved Yahoo! Australia & NZ Search
