Hello,
My family Israel Glance and wife Rebecca (nee Abecassis) emigrated from Leeds to Melbourne in the 1860s. Rebecca was the daughter of Jacob Abecassis born in Mogador, (Essouirra) Morocco. His wife was Elizabeth Levi born in Hamburg. I am wondering if Henry Cohen Pirani who was the son of Benetto Cohen/Cohen Pirani and Reyna Abecassis was related to my ggrandmother Rebecca Glance (nee Abecassis) from London / Morocco ? With thanks for any information you can provide, Tim McCabe, Perth, Western Australia

Hi Coffee Girl, I am not Gizelle but an Australian descendant of John Ellams Fenner. My name is Tim McCabe and I'm from Perth, West Australia. What number are you on Gedmatch ? I am not having much luck connecting with the Fenner line, although my Anestor Matthew Marwood (DNA proven) married Mary Ann Fenner, the daughter of the Rev Thomas Paris Fenner. Where are all my DNA Fenner cousins ? I've managed to connect with many descendants of Arthur Fenner from Rhode Island, New York but no Fenner from Australia ! ? Sometimes I doubt I have Fenner ancestry !! I'll keep on looking ! I've also tested on FT DNA but the trouble is, if people don't attach their ancestral names you get no where ! Have you attached the name 'Nye' or 'Fenner' to your DNA result ? Best wishes, Tim McCabe 'AustralianFenner'

Gizelle,
I'm from the Thomas Paris Fenner line. John Fenner 1723 - 1793 is my earliest Fenner (married to Sarah Ellams. Have you had your DNA tested through Ancestry.com ? I have and I am connecting to the Rhode Island branch of our Fenner family, and their trees connect to Captain Thomas Fenner of the Spanish Armada fame !! I look forward to hearing about your DNA experiences !!

Did you make any progress in going beyond John Fenner born 1723 died 1793 ? I think the best way forward is to get your DNA tested with Ancestry.com and to confirm your connection to the rest of us !! Best wishes in your research
