Excerpt from Records of the Franklin Family and Collaterals On the death of my father in May, 1909, I came into possession of certain records dealing with the history of the Franklin family which had been collected by my grandfather, and I proposed to put these into more permanent form in order that they might be available for use of other members of my family. In the course of arranging them I found it necessary to communicate with representatives of the various branches of the family in order to confirm some of the details, and by this means I obtained much further information, thus enlarging the scope of the work to a considerable extent. In the result I have been able to compile a list of collateral relatives of the Franklin family which, though not complete, is fairly lengthy, and to this I have added a list of the connections of my mother's family as far as I have been able to trace them, as well as an extract from the records of my wife's mother's family, which were compiled by Mr. Dann. I have had very much assistance from Professor Dr. Brann, of the Breslau Seminary (whose knowledge of Jewish History is unrivalled), as well as from Mr. Colyer-Fergusson, Mr. Percy Isaacs, Mr. Montie Jacobs, Mr. Alfred Henry, Mrs. Goodman Levy, Mrs. Meldola, Mrs. Bamberger, Mrs. Simeon Singer, Mrs. Charles Meyerstein, Mr. Joseph Myers, of Manchester, the Rev. Edwin Franklin, of Southampton, Miss Eliz. Maude Marks, of Birmingham, and many others of the family connections who have taken great trouble in adding to and correcting the records of their respective branches.
