My mother was from Sefrou, Morocco. Does anyone know the name of the Jewish cemetary there?Also the name of the Jewish cemetery in Casablanca?Thank you!
I am trying to find a copy of my Mother’s birth certificate. Her maiden name is Assouline. She was born in Sefrou outside of Fez in 1929. She has 5 sisters and her father’s name was YomTov Assouline. Mother was Gracia Oliel. Where might I find these documents? Thank you very much.
Could someone translate the Hebrew on my grandmother’s tomb in Casablanca? Thank you very much!
Does anyone have any archive or internet links to learn about Berber Jews? I'm looking for particular surnames, Ayache, Assouline, Partouche. Thank you!
I was given this website as a possible source of information. I have no document to post. My mom was born in Sufreu, Morocco in 1929, and raised in an orthodox Jewish family. Her maiden name was Assouline. In Israel she went to Yad Vashem and received info that her family probably migrated from Spain during the first diaspora. They also said, Assouline suggests they were Berbers! I never knew Zeph...
