## *Four Overlooked Sephardic Communities*## *David Mendoza and Ton Tielen*## *Sephardic World, Sunday 18 August 2024*As Sephardic genealogists, our focus is necessarily on the larger communities. It is easy to overlook smaller communities or those that existed for a short time, but that gives an incomplete history.This week ***Ton Tielen*** and ***David Mendoza*** will discuss four smaller communities that each have something to teach us about Sephardic genealogy: These are *Glückstadt *in Germany, *Dublin *in Ireland, *The Hague* in The Netherlands, and *Madras/Chenna*i in India.Join us on Sunday 18 August 2024, at 11am in LA, 2pm in NYC, 7pm in London, 8pm in Paris/Amsterdam, 9pm in Jerusalem, and 4am the next morning in Sydney. Patrons are invited to join us live on Zoom.This meeting will not be live broadcast on YouTube this week but premiered on YouTube next week at https://www.youtube.com/SephardicGenealogyAndHistoryPlease remember to subscribe to the channel!
