I did wonder if Jimmy had left Cyprus at the beginning of the terrible political troubles.   

goodnight for now!  Rivkah

Hi Lesley!   Just a very quick message to say thanks very much for the info.

Gosh!  How interesting!!

I just might be able to find quite a bit more about Jimmy - I shall certainly try my best - i like an interesting piece of research to do.

The fact that he was a musician should be of great help too.

I did some more research about my stepgrandmother number 2 - Charlotte Goldmann - then Kingaby - then Huber - what an amazing woman - i so regret that i did not get to know her properly - she wrote some books as well as being a famous actress/singer/dancer - they seem to be mostly in German.  Fortunately my husband speaks fluent German so I shall try and track down her books and see what I can find there.

Kindest regards for now!   Rivkah

his second wife.  I met her only once at a big family gathering (a very impressive lady) 

If you could tell me anything more about Jimmy Carter - was he an American?  was he an officer?  what was his rank and his military corps?   I am sure that i can find out a lot more about him.    I have some photos with people whom i cannot identify at present (from the 1940s onwards).  I shall dig them out and put them on the 'net eventually.

Finally, as i am sure you'll already know, things went very badly wrong politically-speaking in Cyprus during the post war years and a lot of people from other countries living there either "disappeared" or got kicked out and went to other countries where they had relatives/friends.    I have heard stories (from Pat) of some terrible goings on with the military waving guns around at the hotel.  They left Cyprus circa the ?1960s or before.

Well, sorry I cannot tell you more at present - but being retired, I do have the time to do some research, so if you can supply me with any info. about Jimmy Carter at all i shall see what i can do.

There are a lot of these televised family history programs nowadays and it would be good if we could get them interested and they could do the research for us!!   It can be very costly and time-consuming - needing experts to help.   

I speak some Greek if you have any documentation in that language - I might be able to find out more?

kind regards!   Rivkah - (and Seasons Greetings of course!)
