Hi. I am researching my Sichel Family Tree. They were originally merchants from Frankfurt am Main.
My tree starts with CALMAN JOSEPH zur SICHEL (1706 - 1760).
The first to settle in England was AUGUST SYLVESTRO SICHEL (1798 - 1858) who arrived in Manchester in 1834, becoming naturalised in 1839. His brother JULIUS (Jules) (1802 - 1868) was an ophthalmologist in Paris. They also had brothers DANIEL (1803 - 1873) and EMMANUEL, and a sister SOPHIE.
AUGUST SYLVESTRO (Silvester/ Sylvester) SICHEL was married to AMALIA GUMPEL. They had 4 sons... EMIL SYLVESTRO (b. 1823) GUSTAVUS (b. 1825) JULIUS FREDERIC (1827 - 1875) and EDWARD FERDINAND (1829 - 1883) .
EDWARD FERDINAND SICHEL married SUSAN JOSHUA (1843 - 1914). She was born in Australia and was one of many children of MICHAEL JOSHUA and SARAH SOLOMON. Edward and Susan were my Great Great Grandparents.
My tree also includes many other names, but has many gaps. I would love to hear from anyone who may be related or has any information to share.
Rona.
