Hi there is an ignorance amongst many as to how search engines work and their limitations. All search engines have catalogues that they search within. Most search engines Google included have "national" catalogues so a search in the UK for example may not give the same results as one in Australia, or searching with "Asak Jeeves" may well give a result which maybe Google doesn't or vice versa. There exist multi search engines such as Copernic which prove to avoid some of the difficulties experienced with single search engines. But going onto a spesalist search on a British Jewish site may well give you a much better result than writting into GOOGLE jEWISH SCHOOLS+YORKSHIRE, especialy as you are searching from Australia. regards Terry Norway > From: roy.stockdill@btinternet.com > To: west-riding@rootsweb.com > Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:12:03 +0100 > Subject: Re: [WRY] Jewish school in Yorkshire in the 1800's > > From: Mary Heppell > >> I am hoping someone will know if there was a Jewish School in >> Yorkshire probably a secondary school] for the years after 1871.> > > Which part of Yorkshire?

You are quite right Terry. And I think we are all guilty of thinking that Google is the answer to everything! I went through Altavista and found the following references to Jewish Schools in Yorkshire: 1. The Leeds Civic Trust www.leedscivictrust.org.uk had "Jewish Schools in Leeds 1880 - 1930" 2. www.localhistory.co.uk has a reference to "A Jewish School in Victorian Leeds" in on of it's publication and www.geoffkolnick.tripod.com refers to the first Jewish marriage in Yorkshire. I hope this helps Mary and encourages others to think outside Google - as it did me!
