Hi Lesley. I was interested to read your post from Feb 2010. Barnard Louis Abrahams was my grandfather and his son Michael was my father. Sadly I never met Mary Agnes Lyne who would be my grandmother although I did know his second wife who I called "Granny". I am still in touch with Maurice who lives in the US. Michael and Barbara had two older brothers, Paul who I never met who emigrated to Canada I think and David who I did know. I don't think Maurice would have been 15 at the time of the second marriage though because he was younger than my Dad, I think he would probably have been about 5 and my Dad 9. By now you might well have gathered lots more information on your family tree but let me know if I can be of further help. What is your connection to the Abrahams family? Do you think we might be related? Kind Regards. Margaret

Hi Margaret

It is a couple of years since Lesley started this thread.


She may no longer be looking at it, and indeed may no longer be active on the Boards as she has only made 3 posts since 2007.


GR does not send notifications of new posts on threads.


May I suggest that you send her a pm (personal message) through GR


Just click on her name, type your message in the box that appears, then click Submit

GR will then send her an email to say there is a message waiting on GR's internal messaging system.


Then all you have to do is hope that she still has the same email address that is on file with GR



Good luck
