Cohen

[David Conway]

I am trying to trace my ancestor Isaac Cohen, who was a rabbi or teacher in Malmo around 1870-1875. He died around 1875 or 1876. His wife Beila (nee Galinski, born I think in or near Suwalki, Poland,1855) then emigrated to England with their two daughters (Annie and Sarah) and one son (Angel), all of whom were born in Sweden between 1873 and 1876. Annie was my great-grandmother.
 
If anyone can tell me how I could find records of Isaac Cohen I should be very grateful

David,
I would suggest that you contact the Jewish Community of Malmö. You will find addresses and information in English here: http://www.ijk-s.se/jfm/jfmintro.htm

David,
 
I would suggest that you write to JewishGen's Scandinavia SIG's mailing list (further information on: http://www.jewishgen.org/scandinavia
 
Some of the other subscribers are very experienced and knowledgeable that can probably help you with information.
 
Best regards

There is no rabbi in Malmoe before 1900, but teachers,  
schauchets chassens though. I will send you a mail.

Is the photographer from 1848 mentioned in this link below the same Isaac Cohen as the one mentioned above maybe?
