A richly illustrated photographic and genealogical journey through 300 years and nine generations of one family’s history, documenting their lives from the late 17th century to the mid-20th century. ​

The photographs are sourced from cartes-de-visite and four separate albums created in the early 20th century by Percy Leon, Claude Leon, Hilda Simpson, and Ruby Levin.

The book also includes detailed genealogical charts and historical context, such as the establishment of the Jewish community in Falmouth by Alexander “Zender Falmouth” Moses. ​ The narrative is enriched with documents, personal stories, obituaries, and significant events, providing a comprehensive view of one family’s history over nine generations.
