My name is Lynn Lewis (formerly Roselofsky) and I am the webmaster for this site.
Below are the main family branches (i.e. direct blood lines) which include the following surnames (with their spelling variations). A complete list of all surnames can be found in the data base indices.
I started recording our family tree (without the use of a computer) back in 1986 as part of a bar mitzvah project for my eldest son, Daniel. My late mother Elizabeth (Bessie) nee Isaacs was staying with us at the time and provided from memory some 300 names. She told me that her uncle, Sollie Isaacs, together with one of his uncles, had gone from synagogue to synagogue and traced the family back to the late 1600's when Oliver Cromwell allowed the Jews back into England. Unfortunately this record was never found but I always had hopes of equalling his achievement. Now, with the help of the Internet and research by other family members, we have not only found that lost information but discovered records of our ancestors going back to the 15th. Century.
Space on this web site is limited and I've been unable to include all notes and citations. Those of you who are interested in obtaining further information on family members are more than welcome to contact me and I'll be happy to share any data in my possession. I hope you enjoy the site.
Best wishes
