Author(s) Marilyn Aminuddin AbstractMany Australian Jewish families are closely related, especially those who arrived prior to 1900 and who originated in the same area of the Pale of Settlement. This article is a description of two families – Simcha or Simon Stone and his children and grandchildren and Samuel Krantz and his descendants. They came to Australia to enjoy the right to freedom of association, freedom from antisemitism and the opportunity to do business and make a good living for their respective families. Between the two men, they had at least twenty children, some of whom were pillars of the community whereas others sometimes behaved without care for others or the law. Some had flamboyant careers which brought them to the attention of the media on a regular basis; others have left barely a mark, particularly the women of the families. They played a key role in developing Jewish life across eastern Australia.
