NO ENTRY: Refugees on the notorious SS St Louis

"These names are people who came to England upon returning from that voyage, about whom we would like to be more certain of their fate," said Sarah Hyams, the survivors' registrar at the museum.

"In most cases we have found documents for people with the same names that would confirm their survival beyond the end of the war, but with no date of birth so that we cannot be sure it is the same person.

"None of these people would be alive today, but if any readers recognise the names or know the families and could tell us with certainty when and where these people died, or anything further about them, it would be greatly appreciated."

The names are: Nathan Haber, born 1890 in Dora (Austria-Hungary); Emma Hoffman, born in 1897 in Priesen, Germany; Cilly (or Zilly) Hofmann; Friedrich Marcus, born in 1889, Altona, Germany; Else Schott, born 1903 in Krefeld, Germany. May have settled in Birmingham with Schott and/or Blumenthal relatives there; Helene Turkowicz, born 1891, Rozwadow, Austria-Hungary. The family had a shoe and handbag shop in London. Husband Joel, daughter Edith; Chawa Weiser, born 1883 in Nowosielitza, Austria-Hungary. Husband Ignaz.

BILL Dean-Myatt is conducting research on behalf of the National Library of Scotland for a 'Scottish Vernacular Discography, 1888-1960'.

He is trying to make contact with any descendants of Morris and Jacques Levy who ran the family business of Levy Brothers.

They ran retail record shops but, more importantly, ran the Oriole record label and produced custom made records for a variety of companies, including Embassy records for Woolworths.

Bill's particular interest, however, is in Gaelfonn records that they produced for Murdo Ferguson of Glasgow.

This label recorded many important Gaelic singers from the 1950s and 1960s and it is these records that are so important and need to be correctly and accurately documented.
