He told me that my grandfather and his brothers originally came from Russia > (formerly spelled KAPLAN), and were brought to London, England by the > Rothschild family. I just found information via the internet saying that the Rothschild family helped fund the Jews' Free School. They "provided immigrant children with a refuge and a means of escape from poverty, educated them, anglicized them and sent them out to the world fit to contribute to society." Is anyone familiar with this organization? Do you know if there are existing records that would help me with my research? >Thank you! Jo Anne Kindler
