Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: MICHAEL family Swansea - Jewish BDM records 1740-1880

Stephanie,
Interested to see the posts from you and from Jim. There is lots more as you can imagine. The Harts from Cornwall and the Michaels from Swansea became very closely linked in the late 1700's and 1800's as I guess you already know. If Reginald Warburton Michael was your grandfather, then you and I should be 4th cousins as my g-g-grandfather was David Hart, brother of Rose Hart who married Jacob Michael.
To be honest, I haven't put the tree on ancestry.com and I think its much more complete and accurate than some of those already there - but these things always get amended over time. Its too easy to jump to wrong conclusions (especially over dates of birth taken from census information)
Sometime soon - probably over Christmas - I'll send some further info which might be if interest.
Mike
