My grandmother, Leila Smollan, is still alive and well and living here in Israel, almost 90 years young. If you are interested in updating the next generations of the family tree, her great grandchildren- the decendants of Abraham Smollan then please let me know.
Here is a photo of Sarah Slota (Charlotte) Altman born in 1829 (sitting) who is my great, great grandmother.
The young lady is my great grandmother, Fanny Lewis born in 1857. She married Israel Alexander Smollan. Sara is holding my great Aunty Netta Gertrude who just passed away at 101 years old- and was buried on her birthday 10 of May 2007 in Jerusalem.
This is my great granny Fanny Smollan on a camel in Egypt. (I have a newspaper article about that trip of hers).

My grandfather, Sigismund SANDEMAN, was born on May 09, 1867 at Church St Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, Yorks, UK
My great-uncle, Jacob SANDEMAN, was born at 87, Newport Rd, Middlesbrough, Yorks, UK on Apr 23, 1870.
They may have been among the first Jewish births there.

I came across your website while researching for a television documentary on genealogy for CBC Canadian television.
Following the success of the BBC series, we are making the television series Who Do You Think You Are? for Canadian television.
One of the families I am researching is the Landsberg family, a Jewish immigrant family from Russia who spent at least 6 years in the UK. They appear in the 1891 UK census as living in West Hartlepool, at 28 Jersey Street. The family were:
Abraham Landsberg (Tailor) aged 29
Rebecca aged 28
Sarah age 17, Maria 7, Adah age 5, Jane age 6 months
And there was a Joseph Landsberg living with them (perhaps a brother) also a tailor.
I see that the West Hartlepool congregation eventually amalgamated with the Middlesbrough Hebrew Congregation. Do you know if there are any archives which hold the records? I would like to know if this family is listed.
Any advice would be much appreciated,
Rebecca Snow
