Hi Tony my dads name was Nathaniel Bell he was born in 1923 in Mile End he
had three sisters, my grandad Morry had nine brothers and sisters,my dad was named after Racheals husband Nathan. We certainly are mixed up, my mums side are all dutch jews but my dads side are a mixture ,as you say Dutch
Portuguese Morry s wiife Janey my grandma s single name was Van Boolen
doesnt get any more quirky does it. I know we are a big family I have just found another second cousin in USA she s the grandaughter of my grandpa s
brother or rather she found me like you did.I will pass this on to my other cousins. At the moment Im trying to find out who Racheals parents were but
not much luck so far.Nice to hear from you please keep in touch,best wishes
your long lost cousin Sheila x

hi Tillyboo I was reading your message about your family of De La Fuente s I was totally gobsmacked, my great grandmother s name was Rachel De La Fuente she was married to Nathan Bell ,in my family tree I also have a Joshua De Lara and a David De La Fuente they were Dutch jews and did cime from Mile End but my gg grandmother was Portuguese. One of their children was Morris who was my grandfather he married Jenny Van Boolen who was also Dutch they had Nathaniel who was my father its so exciting Ive been contacted by a girl in America who it turns out is my second cousin, her grandfather was my grandfathers brother and we ve spoken on the phone
many times, I do hope this sheds some light for you.
Sheila.
