In this video, I finally travel to Europe to meet my long lost cousins. This first video focuses mostly on my time in London, which included visits to the Sephardic and Portuguese Synagogue Bevis Marks, the IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy, meeting up with tons of friends and…

What a neat idea! This looks like an epic trip. You always pick out awesome places to see.
I did roughly the same kind of trip a few years ago, only by car here in the States. I drove from Sacramento to Texas to visit my auntie and some cousins, then across the Gulf states (with side trips to see NASCAR raceways). Seeing the countryside where my family lived was very moving. I very much want to do it again.
Very nice, l'm happy that you made all the connections with your new family members.
Hello! I'm from Brazil and, according Geni, I'm your 23rd cousin four times removed 😂
Should you become a traveller?
You did what i dream of. i know my ancestors only until great grand father nothing before it. I noticed the jewish community has a big genealogy community, did it start because of WW2 or even bofore? how did it develop over time? Or maybe you already did a video about it, would be glad if you could link it 😀
First a very interesting video. I'd love to do something similar but my cousins and relatives didn't really go very far, so… there's that. But I noticed something at: 24:10 Did Isaac have two daughters named Esther?
When you mentioned the speed of the service I immediately thought of the times in Iberia when they probably had to do it quickly and disperse in order to avoid detection.
Cool to see several familiar genealogy faces from twitter at the conference. Loved watching your journey 😊
This looks amazing! I've done the "visit ancestors' homes in London" before. My parents were born in London and moved to the US. I didn't know about my Jewish ancestry – both London and Amsterdam as well as Riga – until I was in my 30s. Of course I can't find decent records and several NPEs don't help. Maybe next summer I can do something similar.
Question – outside of Ancestry and MyHeritage, do you have any good reccommendations for researching Jewish ancestry in UK and The Netherlands?
What an epic trip! I was transported along for the journey with all the details, even the little travel issues. Just a wonderful video and inspiring too.
What an adventure! So great that you captured all those memories! Looking forward to Part 2 Amsterdam!
How cool, your trip is very interesting, I'm Brazilian and my family is from the northeast of Brazil. I have 8% Serphardic genes and from the My Heritage website I have many cousins all over Europe, mainly France, Portugal and Spain respectively, but my haplogroup is I1 ~z140 8:31 so I also have incredibly “cousins “of 5 and 4 degrees in placês like Norway and even England(but my family past relatives from outside brazil are from the1700”s century or even before
I loved this video and your experience! My ancestral home is Poland and Russian but I felt I was home in Jerusalem
How neat! You all have the spirit of Elijah- where the hearts of the children turn to their fathers ☺️
Did you see the irish state coach? Its in the mews in london. My ancestors the Huttons built it for queen victoria
Daniel Loftus!
Wow! What a great trip (apart from the not so great things!). I lived in England from 1981-1985 (my dad was in the AF). Spent some good time in London (our senior trip was there, saw Foreigner there). Looking forward to part 2!!! 🙂
One question: I've watched several videos or streams where Michael Waas is mentioned or participates, but I think not one of them answers my doubt: is "Waas" just a dutch version of Portuguese "Vaz" (because in Dutch the W is said like a V), or is it just coincidence?
The bird was a magpie!
