I am very happy to announce that my good friend and fellow researcher Joshua Marrache from Gibraltar will be coming to London on Sunday 19 January 2020 to give a talk to the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain. The subject will be the Jewish community of Gibraltar: its foundation, together with its commercial and family links to Morocco, Italy, Amsterdam and London during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The meeting will be held at our usual venue, The Society of Genealogists, 14 Charterhouse Buildings, Goswell Road, London EC1M 7BA and will start at 2.00pm. The closest stations are Barbican and Farringdon. Please arrive for 1.45 at the latest, so we can start promptly. Non-members of JGSGB will be very welcome to join us, for whom there would be a nominal charge of £5 per person, to include refreshments. As you can see from the title of Joshua’s talk, this will cover several areas of genealogical interest so we hope to see as many people there as possible. If you are able to reach London, please try to join us. There will be a question-and-answer session after the talk. You are welcome to bring along your own relevant research data. Please email me to let me know if you will be joining us – ginagem@hotmail.co.uk
Joshua Marrache is a seventh-generation Jewish Gibraltarian who was educated at a Church of England primary school in Gibraltar, then spent some years at Polack's House, Clifton College, Bristol. He later studied in San Roque, Cadiz, Spain during the Franco regime and the subsequent transition to democracy, changes which deeply affected him and sparked his early interest in politics and Spanish history. It was during this time as a teenager that Joshua, thanks to his late father, became interested in genealogy. When returning to Gibraltar, Joshua pursued his interest in politics and his passion for genealogy and historic research. His meeting with historian Tito Benady was extremely inspiring and later led to researching and working together on a booklet on the Nefusot Yehudah Flemish Synagogue. Since then, Joshua has spent over ten years doing a great amount of in-depth research and investigation into the Jewish community of Gibraltar and its links to other Jewish communities in North Africa and Europe.
