Recently I discovered two books containing copies of marine insurance policies from the years 1758-1762 (Amsterdam City Archives SAA 557: Archief van de Assurantiebezorgers De Vos en Zoon, #24 and 25). Initially they caught my attention, because I found insured shipments by the company of Mordechaij and Jacob Italiaander & Sons (mainly tobacco to the Scandinavian countries) and by Hartogh van Embd...
Has anyone tried cooking the recipes in this cookbook (either the modern adaptations or the originals)? Maybe Ton Tielen or Dennis Bueno de Mesquita? If so recommendations for where to start? If not I may start working my way through the adaptations and post recipes for the ones that seem most successful/worth eating. Also can someone Dutch explain the significance of a "salon pastij" which goo...
Again, from Maria Jose Surribas, these are the names of the Jews of Mallorca, from notarial documents in which both their former Jewish names and new Christian names are recorded."Since I have photocopies of Appendix 5, I send you pictures of this one too (photos 4 to 7). This is a list of Jews of Mallorca that comes from J. Quadrado's "La juderia de Mallorca." The list is properly described as pr...

Anyone from Gibraltar?
Hello all, I'm looking for Gibraltar jews who settled in funchal, madeira island.
I think this in the Portuguese language, but I am not entirely sure. If somebody is up to a challenge, I would like for him or her to have a go at it. My interest is what this notarial deed says about "my" Abraham Cohen do Brasil. The deed is from 1656 and done before notary Benedict Baddel, but signed by notary Lavello. Abraham Cohen, as always, signed in Hebrew. here is the link: https://archief...
Hello, I've always wanted to trace my roots and wondered whether anyone had suggestions. I'm a Sephardic Jew who's grandmother was born in Rangoon, Burma, and great grandmother was born in Calcutta. It's believed that before that my ancestors were in Iraq. My grandmother told me that my great, great grandmother may have been the first to come to India and had roots in Baghdad. We have no old docum...

I wanted to share this unusual and very poignant gravestone I saw yesterday at Hoop Lane S & P cemetery. Isaac Ernest Abravanel died 1924 aged 15.
Does anyone know if there is a site that has the inscriptions of the Portuguese Jews in Bordeaux at Cimetière des Juifs portugais, 105 Cours de la Marne, Bordeaux. ?
Do you regularly (at least weekly, let's say) visit an S&P synagogue for services? If so, which one?
Good evening all. What is everyone's thoughts on the Spanish and Portuguese offers to give nationality to the children and families of Sephardim forced from both countries. Have any of you thought about it? Would any of you apply or will any of you be applying?
