I know many are fascinated by the history of our community, particularly as it relates to the genealogy and history of the conversos and the Inquisition. In my article today, I provide some historical background and explore one such New Christian family. This is the first part of an ongoing series on New Christians and genealogy. Next one coming up soon will be following one such family from life as New Christians in Iberia to return as open Jews in Amsterdam. Enjoy!
