Are there any high-quality digital copies of Bevis Marks ketubot anywhere online? I have very poor photocopies of two (great-great-great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents) and wondered if anyone had access to decent digital files. If not, are the ketubot now stored at the LMA? Thanks for any advice/help. Shana Tova.
A very quick question for someone with more knowledge of cemeteries: I assume there wouldn't have been a marked grave for a baby who died aged only a few days (London, 1884)? I have a birth certificate, death certificate, but can't find a burial record. If someone could point me in the right direction I am happy to do the research. Thanks.
Last night I was browsing the Amsterdam archives for anything related to the Calo family, especially Michael/Michiel, and I came across this. Is anyone able to help me out and let me know what it's about, please? Thanks so much!
Does anyone have a copy of the Bevis Marks Records (Part VI - Burials), and would be willing to look up a name for me, please? If not, I'll invest in a copy, but I don't know if the person was buried at the Novo or not. If so, please message me. No rush! Many thanks.
Polite request: does anyone have a copy of the Bevis Marks death records (I believe this is part VI), and would be willing to look up one entry for me please? (I have parts III and V.) Many thanks.

I just came across this on the BBC News site, and wondered if it might be of interest?
I saw this and wondered if it might be of interest to some members here.
My mother's family were the (infamous) Calo family who came to London via Amsterdam. The furthest back I am able to trace is a Michael Calo who died in 1779. The family history before that is rather vague. I am unsure whether they were actually Sephardi, or were Italian, and married into the Sephardi community. The only trace of the name Calo that I was able to find in Spain was in Tarazona.The st...
May I just thank all the lovely people who took time out from their day to research/post on my Calo thread? You have given me so much new information, and I am deeply grateful. If anyone can point me in the direction of some clues about Caleb de Abraham Calo (known as Philip) you might just help to solve a family mystery! Thanks again :)
Hello all! I've been researching my mother's Dutch Sephardi family, and can get back to the mid 1700s in Amsterdam, but have drawn a blank on specific individuals before then. They were the Calo/Callo family. I've found the name in Italy, prior to them being in the Netherlands, but can't tie the loose ends together. Apparently they owned - or donated a large sum for the purchase of - the land on w...
