March 2006: We  have now determined that  Faivel (also known as Philip is the UK) is the  father of Abraham by locating the gravestone of Abraham in Glasgow and seeing who his fathers name was. I took a DNA test to  locate the line (DNA CHART HERE)  and establish the line further back to the 16th century.
Philip Morrison is the Grandson of Abrahams brother Hyman and he now has his own page on this website Click this line to go there

These are the Gravestones of our Great Grandfather and Grandmother

This is the earliest image that we have of Abraham and Milly Cussin and their family in 1899. The oldest child is Louis, then sitting is Thomas and the wee girl on the floor would be Leah aged 2. The picture was in the family album of Laura Valens, Abrahams granddaughter. After identification by Philip Morrison (Cussin) Feival established that it was Abraham and indeed there are clear facial resemblances in the family pictures we have. The only issue that I have is that the [picture of Milly, if this is Milly, is not the same in the size of chin.  Therefore would this be *Mina Stakol, the mother of the three children shown and did she die at some as yet unknown date and then Abraham married Milly?

 

 Abraham Coussins

b. 12/10/1869  in Zagare, Lithuania  (Kovno) m.  *Mina (Stagel –probably Stakol)   d. Glasgow, Scotland

However we also have a record that Abraham married
Milly(Amelia) Moscovitch Murnik and that she was the mother of the following children.;
This will be cleared up at some point. My father Jack always wore her wedding ring which I passed
on to my daughter Rebecca. Inside is inscribed Milly.

Finished high school at a young age and joined the Palmach. From the Palmach he was enlisted  into the British army and from whence he joined the Jewish Brigade when it was established. Daniel Reuben took part in the war against the Nazis and saving refugees from the camps. On the completion of his military service he returned to Palestine, completed his high school education and passed his exams. Danny then joined the Poria commune in the Lower Galilee where he became the security officer and commander. At the beginning of the War of Independence, after the UN partition declaration on 29.11.47, he was driving Lorries in dangerous areas and was arrested by the British for possessing a weapon. The day after the declaration of the State of Israel, on 15.5.1948, the Arab Legion and the Syrians invaded Israel. Danny was temporarily enlisted to defend the Jordan Valley. He took command of the section on the Tzemach front. Danny and his platoon fought bravely against superior forces and managed to survive. Minutes before he was killed he promised an injured colleague that he would see them all safely back to their camp. Daniel-Reuben was killed on 16.5.1948 by a bullet that struck him in the face, but the members of his platoon survived. He was laid to rest at the cemetery in Poria. On 9.12.1965, by the request of his family, his remains were transferred to the military cemetery on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem. Their only son Danny was the father of Fransji who now lives in her native Holland. My mother was very happy for me that I finally discovered my father (and of course his family, especially because he is not alive anymore) and she also was happy that I could meet the family. Fransji has her own family now and we have a page for her on the front page	Children, Jack, Leslie, Harold
