Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to have a small breakthrough the other day when a second cousin shared a document written by my 2x great uncle about one of the Sephardic branches of my family (I’m sharing the document here - it was started in 1917, although additional details were clearly added later). I had previously traced this branch of the family as far back as David De Pinna, my 4x great grandfather, but now I’ve been able to add several additional family members to the tree, specifically: his father (Joshua De Pinna), his mother (Hannah Beat), his grandfather (Isaac De Pinna), and his father-in-law (Solomon Cohen). Nevertheless, this has raised a number of new questions that I’m curious if anyone has insight into:1. How much can you trust these types of family resources? The author is much closer in time / generationally than me (he says that much of the info came from HIS grandfather), but some of his information also seems incorrect to me (e.g. he says the family name used to be “De LaPinna”, which I don’t think is correct) and other bits are hard to confirm.2. Does anyone have information about Isaac De Pinna (according to this document, there were two: father and son) either in London or in the Caribbean? I’m especially curious to see if I can figure out who Isaac De Pinna’s parents were.3. This document says that Joshua De Pinna married Hannah Beat, a Scotch Protestant. How common were marriages with non-Jews in the early 1800s? And how common was it for someone with inter-married parents to have their own marriage be in both faiths (as it seems David De Pinna did)?4. David De Pinna married Caroline Cohen, whose father Solomon Cohen was from Holland - Caroline was buried in Bevis Marks’ cemetery, and their descendents attended Bevis Marks. Can we make any assumptions about whether Solomon was Sephardic or Ashkenazi? Does anyone have any information on Solomon Cohen from Amsterdam who moved to the UK?Thanks for any input / insight!
