| My research centers around my mother, Lorna Arnold, the author of several books on military and civil nuclear history. Specifically, I am investigating four families (three English, one American), and one event. The families are: (1) The Rainbows, my mother's father's family. The earliest record I have is of Elisha Rainbow, a silk merchant in West London in the early 19th century. (2) The Wallises, my mother's father's mother's family. They probably came from Warwickshire. The first names "Lorna" and "Pearl" recur. (3) The Dawsons, my mother's mother's family. The possibly distinctive feature is that a Charles Dawson married twice; his first wife was Emma Pearl, the second Ellen Cooper. One of his sons (b. c. 1865) combined his parents' last names: Pearl Dawson (4) The Arnolds, from New Jersey: my father's family. His name was Robert Howard Arnold; his parents were Frank Arnold and Kate Denig. (The family tree linked below includes my direct ancestors only.) The event is the Allied Occupation of Berlin immediately after the Second World War. My mother worked in the Allied Control Commission from 1945 until 1947, and for two years thereafter in Washington on the "Bizonia" arrangements. |
