Hi Claudia, My name is Georgina Cane i live in New Zealand & my father's family of
Canes are from Shoreditch In Middlesex England. I started doing my fathers history at the
begining of the year.In fact I can remember a link that I had found to a family of Canes
in Italy which I messaged but did not hear anything back from. I to thought they were of
Jewish origin hence the name Cane of Cain & Abel from the Bible, but a contact I had
from Canada said that our name was not Jewish, but I beg to differ. Also a lady I had meet
several years ago was telling me that our family of Canes were descendants of Bulgarian
gypsies, but although it sounds interesting I haven't got that far into the
family's history to confirm that. What I do know is:- my Mother once told me that the
Canes had immigrated from Ireland to England because of the potato famine in Ireland. I
apologize for taking so long to reply, I have only just found your link also my computer
is very slow...Please write back !
as it was lovely to hear from you & if their is anything I cane help with, please
feel free to ask, regards Georgie
