I mentioned some time ago how distant family were proud to be of Portuguese descent but not rushing to a synagogue. So this article rang bells, Ana Pancheco is Santa Fes historian and was talking about people claiming Spanish citizenship being the descandants of conversos, it was from some 8 months agoFor some, such as Pacheco, the discovery of her family’s Sephardic roots will not set her off to find a new religion or become a Spanish citizen. “It’s great, but it didn’t really make a difference,” she said. “It wasn’t like I was going to start being Jewish.”The comment is l think rather poignant and strips away any romance
