Dovid and Marta Schotness

The Davnob Information Centre has recently enhanced old photos of Dovid and Marta Schotness - they were the parents of Bubba Noble. Dovid arrived in London sometime after 1883 (when Bubba Ray was born in Kishinev). Marta joined him four years later (before 1889, when Auntie Leah was born in London).   So the photos are of the maternal grandparents of Lou, Zig, Charlie and Bernie Noble.

We now know that Bubba Noble (Ray Noble) was born Elka-Rasa Shokhness in Kishinev in 1884. Her parents (above) were recorded as Duvid and Motlya Shokhness, and their fathers as (respectively) David and Leib-Yitsik.

DAVNOB - The Chatbot Version

With all the interest in AI Chatbots, I decided to check out what Bard (Google's AI Chatbot) had to say about Davnob. Here's what it had to say (I claim no responsibility!):

Davnob is a fictional place created by Roger Noble. It is a small village in the English countryside, and is home to the Davidson and Noble families. The village is described as being a peaceful and idyllic place, with rolling hills, lush meadows, and a babbling brook. The people of Davnob are friendly and welcoming, and the village is a place where everyone knows their neighbors.

Davnob is a place of great beauty and history. The village is said to be over 1,000 years old, and there are many ancient ruins scattered throughout the countryside. Davnob is also home to a number of historical landmarks, including a castle, a church, and a mill.

Davnob is a place where people can come to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The village is a great place to enjoy the outdoors, and there are many activities to keep people busy, such as hiking, biking, fishing, and swimming. Davnob is also a great place to learn about history and culture, and there are many museums and historical sites to visit.

Davnob is a special place that is full of charm and history. It is a place where people can come to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and learn about the past.

Solomon Salit

This is a presentation about the work of Solomon Salit, who was Grandma Davidson's nephew (that is the first cousin of Jo, Moishe, Sophie, Lammie, Geoffie, Edie, Minnie, Cyrie and Lionel). He was the son of Uncle Tevye from Vilna, and the brother of Dr Emila Salit-Aleksandrovitch.

The Salits of Vilna

Davnob is developing a specific website dedicated to our relatives, the Salits of Vilna. For Holocaust Memorial Day 2023, a commemoration of Dr. Emilia Salit-Alexandrovitch has been published on the website. 

In the coming weeks more information about other members of that family will be published there.
