Cyril Davidson

Davnob was sad to hear of the death, at the age of 84,  of Uncle Lammie’s son, Cyril Davidson. Cyril was the youngest of Lammie’s three children - the younger brother of Kathleen (Turner) and Colin (Davidovitz). 

His son, Willie (Steve Davidson), wrote, 'After suffering the challenges of Alzheimers disease for several years our Dad passed away peacefully and painlessly at 4am this morning in his sleep. We love you Pops - Rest in Peace xxx'

Condolences from the whole family.

The New Davnob Family History Site

The all-new Davnob Family History Site is now properly on-line

https://sites.google.com/site/davnob2/

(or click on the link above)

Amongst other new information is a very moving memoir by Emilia Salit-Aleksandrowicz (above) who was Grandma Davidson's niece, and cousin to Joe, Moishe, Sophie, Lammie, Geoffie, Edie, Minnie, Cyril and Lionel.

Family Tree for the Salits (UK)

 Thanks to Judy for sending this diagram of the family tree of the UK branches of the Salit family, which was forwarded to her from an acquaintance from Hull. 

Notes (from Davnob):

* Ruben Joseph Salit was married to Rachel (Keila) - they were Grandma Davidson's parents.

* They had five children. Apart from Melach (Miller), Annie, and Jack who all came to the UK, there were also Tevye and Sorretel who remained in Lithuania (Vilna and Kovno respectively - now Vilnius and Kaunas).

* The names of the Davidson/Davidovitz's are as given in the 1911 census

Happy 20th Anniversary

Davnob wishes one of its esteemed founders

a happy 20th anniversary
