My (maternal) JESSEL family, came from Frankfurt an-der-Oder-bordering POLAND. Some JESSELs have been reported as coming from the Mecklenburgh region-but no proof as of yet. My direct line married into an English born ISAACS family, who may have come from the Netherlands and/or Germany. Some JESSELs emigrated during the 1880s-from England and possibily direct from Germany-to the United States of America and Australia. Some ISAACS members married into a LEVY family. My paternal, paternal family went either from PORTUGAL to SPAIN or vice versa. Common family thought, is that they came from the former. There are numerous variations of the names-such as MONTANHEZ(Spain), MONTANJIES (Holland), MONTANJEES/MONTY/MONTAGUE(U.K./U.S.A.), MONTAGNES(Canada), but the "original" spelling is documented three ways, MONTANHES/MONTANES and MONTANNES. (My 4 x ggf Abraham Haim Levie MONTANHES m Sara SARUCCO. I have some info on her family, back to the mid 17c in Amsterdam). They "travelled" over a couple of centuries from Portugal - possibily via Persia - to Turkey, to the Netherlands - (mainly Holland) - then to England. Some went to Australasia, South Africa, U.S.A.& Canada. Some members still live in the Holland. The following are connected family names to the above. VAN PRAAG(H)(Bohemia) & PIZER & KURTZ(Russian Poland/Germany/Austro-Hungarian Empire(?) My TAFFLER line-(note also the alternative spellings of TAFLER/TOFFLER/TOFLER) married into the U.K. based KURTZ family. I have the name of PIZER connected there as well. |
