I have recently seen a photograph of President JH
Brand, taken in 1883, standing in front of a hotel in
Rouxville, in the (Orange)Free State. The Hotel, a
single storey structure, is named "The Rouxville
Hotel", and on its side wall, is the wording "HOTEL.
BY E. NATHAN". Who was this E. NATHAN? Was he related
to the NATHAN family of Graaf-Reinet?

Netherlands. They were Dutch/London Jews.who migrated to Australia in the
early 1800's...

When researching my family at my family history center today a woman there
was kind enough to spend some of her research time helping me. She has been
looking for a town on a record >from her family for five years. I thought
someone may be able to help. The record said "Stadt Stritzeln" and she
believes this was in Posen, Prussia. Is anyone familiar with this?
