Rothschilds were ashkenazi and endogomous
how exactly are they related to the Iraqi and Indian sassoons, I know that the sassons have been called "the Rothschilds of the east" but AFIK no one has implied they are actually related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.49.44 (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well the statement that the Sassoons have been called "the Rothschilds of the east" doesn't imply that they're related, but the family tree in this article shows how they're linked by marriage. It shows that Sir Edward Albert Sassoon, 2nd Baronet 1856-1912) married Aline Caroline Rothschild.  140.147.236.194 (talk) 15:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

James Sassoon
Please would somebody who knows how, add him to this family tree. Sir James is the poet's 1st cousin twice removed. The gentry family is SASSOON formerly of Ashley Park which was bought by their common ancestor, Sassoon SASSOON (1832-67, who m Louise (d 1921) dau of Baron Horace de Gunzburg, of St Petersburg). It had been built by Cardinal Wolsey and was once occupied by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. Sassoon's eldest son Joseph (1855-1918) inherited the estate and had a younger son Maj Arthur Meyer SASSOON OBE MC (1889-) who was the father of Hugh Meyer Sassoon (b 1929), father of Sir James SASSOON of whom we treat. Sassoon Sassoon's younger son Sir Alfred Ezra SASSOON (1861-95) was the father of the poet Siegfried SASSOON CBE (1886-1967) Kittybrewster  &#9742;  10:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Why omit the role that the opium trade played in the Sassoon family's business? Is the Sassoon surname related to the Sassin surname? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.108.6 (talk) 03:34, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Vidal Sassoon
A few years ago there was a discussion about his ancestry and the possibility of his family being a branch of the Sassoon family of this article. As of yet, no one has shown any evidence that he is (was) related to this family (nor evidence against), so I figured I'd bring the discussion here in the hopes of clarification.

 * Just don't repeat the urban legend that Vidal Sassoon, Gore Vidal, and Al Gore are all cousins.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  15:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Enrico Sassoon
I believe even Enrico Sassoon, an extremely famous Italian magnate,journalist and political strategist of an emerging progressive party,is a member of this dynasty.In my opinion,his name should be added to the family tree.--LucaGhiri91 (talk) 10:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Alan Sasson
Who is Alan Sasson? Is he related to the Sassoon family of this article? If so, how? Does he spell his name with only one "o"?HowardJWilk (talk) 15:23, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Why do we care? If we don't even know who he is or how his name is spelled, that sounds like an obvious WP:Notability and WP:Verifiability problem.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  15:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

''Moved from Template:Sassoon family tree, where it was referring to the appearance of self-published source. —  Scott  •  talk  19:05, 12 September 2015 (UTC)''

This family tree is not really "self-published". It is sourced as "The above Family Tree was compiled by Miss Lydia Collins from the following sources: The archives of Mr Naim Dangoor and information supplied by the late Abraham Elkabir OBE, the late Albert Manasseh, and Mrs Rachel Hemi". Lydia Collins is a well-known genealogist and author, and is for example the editor of Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple1962 (talk • contribs) 11:28, 11 September 2015
 * It turns out that the website linked in the reference was just really, really old-fashioned, and had the look of self-published information. I've replaced the reference with a contemporary one. —  Scott  •  talk  19:05, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
