To all Slomans...this is yet another branch of he family chiming in, trying to hook up with long lost relatives...I'm the great great grandaughter of Bernard Sloman via his daughter Connie (married Sam Lelyveld, next generation changed it to Langford) whose 3 kids (Joe, Dorothy and Lou) were all in the entertainment business like Bernard Sloman was before he started selling soap (and now I understand he was eating it too!). Dorothy (my great grandma)married Jack Young (originally Jungwicz, too much of a mouthful for the English so changed it to Young) and had my father, Bernard, named for his great grandpa...FYI to all of you: Bernard Sloman was not just any old bird whistler, he was known as "The Bird Man" and performed in the USA (according to a NY Times clip from 1881)as well as at the court of Edward VII, only turning to soap (love to know what his inspiration was!!) when Edward died...such a comedown!! Can't believe he then missed the M&S opportunity....PLEASE - to any of you who have parents/grandparents who can help fill in the gaps, I am working on our (that means all of us connected to Bernard Sloman) family tree...I have a record of Bernard Sloman born 1837 married to Austro-Hungarian wife Mary, they had 4 daughters: 1) Connie (my side of the family, all clearly recorded), 2) Maud (collecting some very interesting stuff on this lady, but if any of you know anything I'd be thrilled to hear about it) 3) Bella (married a Mr Oldfield, then a Mr Posner), children Cecil. Marie, Bertie is ll I have....and 4) Fanny, to whom many of you seem to be related: Fanny married Solomon Woolf and they had 6 children: Bernard, Natie, Tillie, Sam, Alf, and Henry...I have a record of Tillie's 2 daughters, Pauline and Anita and that both married the brothers Crystal!? Pauline married Boris Crystal and Anita mrried Barry Crystal...any more input from any of you?I look forward to hearing from any / all of you...Jacky Sivak

Hi JackyGood to hear from you and whilst we slightly digress from the Slomans thread, I can put you right on the final part of your family tree. My grandma, Tilly Fox and brother of Bernard Sloman (nee Woolf) had two daughters, both still living in Leeds. Pauline, married to Boris Crystal and my mum, Anita Bransby. My dad, Barry passed away a young man (46) in 1977. Boris did have a brother Cyril, you are quite right, who was married to Rae.
