- History_of_the_Jews_in_Fiji abstract "The history of the Jews in Fiji is intertwined with the settlement of the Fiji islands by European explorers and settlers. Most of these settlers arrive in Fiji via Australia and New Zealand.[citation needed]One of the early settlers was a merchant by the name Alexander Schmerrill Bowman (Hebrew name Alexander ben Shmuel) who was born on 9 Jan 1847 in Schneidemuhle, Prussia,(modern day Pila in Poland) and died 1909 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Mr Bowman was of the firm Bowman and Abrahams of Levuka and Loma Loma. As he settled in Levuka the Old Capital of Fiji he married Sara Annette Solomon on 25 July 1877 in Levuka, Fiji, daughter of Phillip Solomon and Catherine Cohen. She was born 27 September 1857 in Auckland, New Zealand, and died 1915 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Another well-known figure was a 20-year-old Henry Marks who arrive in 1881 from Australia. Marks laid the foundation of what became one of the most extensive commercial enterprises in the Western Pacific. Marks was later joined by Jews from India and elsewhere in the Middle East and the Orient.[citation needed]There are currently three cemeteries in Fiji, located in Momi (private cemetery), Ovalau Island (Levuka), and Suva (old cemetery) with Jewish inscriptions on the tombstones, dating back to the first Jewish settlers in the 19th century.Close to 300 people of Jewish descent living in the Fiji Islands reside in the capital city of Suva.".
