JILL ADDLESON believes Leeds is central to her search.

Jill of South Africa explains that her grandfather, Isaac Marks, was born in Leeds in 1885. He was the son of tailor Harris Marks and Sarah Marks, formerly Grabinskie.

Around 1901 the family emigrated to Johannesburg, where they lived for the rest of their lives.

Isaac was a distinguished member of the community in Johannesburg and was appointed Town Clerk in the 1930s. He occupied this position until about 1945, when he retired.

In 1934 and 1937 he visited members of his family in Leeds. Jill would like to find these family members.

IRENEE PETERMAN of Manchester wants to trace her cousin Linda Tefron (nee Gold).

She last saw Linda when she visited Israel in 1975 with her late husband.

Linda lived in Rehovot and had two children who will be in their early 30s now.

When Linda’s parents were arranging their emigration to Australia, Irenee looked after her baby cousin for a few days. Linda won a holiday in Israel in 1964. She met Yehuda, son of the Chief of Police of Galilee, whilst on the break and fell in love.

‘‘Some sort of misunderstanding arose between my father and her father and mother 24 years ago,’’ Irenee says. ‘‘I would like to put the misunderstanding right.’’

Irenee would like to speak to Linda about a history of her grandparents Becky Goldstein and Joseph Markovitch.
