I am a direct descendant of Charles Jamrach who was a German animal importer who lived and worked in London's EastEnd. In the Victorian and Edwardian ages, Jamrach's was the source of most of the animals for the World's zoos and his menagerie became very well known. Jamrach's are mentioned in books by HG Wells, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Lord Baden Powell.
