Sue's dad ...a childhood of poverty followed by international acclaim working with Oppenheimer's teachers and colleagues.
A journey of genealogical discoveries of her father's roots in
Lithuania
Sue Gil is a registered London blue badge tour guide. Please join her on a virtual tour of Cambridge and LITHUANIA!
Sue spent her early childhood in Cambridge (UK) as her father, SAMUEL DEVONS (1914-2006) was involved in
pioneering research work in Nuclear physics under the guidance of intellectual giants including Ernest Rutherford and JJ Thomson.
Samuel’s mother had been widowed when he was only 12 and he was brought up with little money - yet he and his five siblings all achieved great success in their lives.
Samuel also held posts in Manchester University, in New York, and in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Sue will explore the roots of her father’s family in a small village called DEVONISKES in Lithuania - followed by her father's illustrious career in acadaemia including his sojourns in two Cambridges.
