I came across 'Studia Rosenthaliana' being in English about Dutch Jewry its obviously of interest but how does one get access
Hello again, I am now trying to establish with some more concrete evidence the line for Benvenida Mordechai Levy Montezinos b.1730 d.1790.I have found Oudekerk records that attest to the marriage between her father Mordechai Isaac Levy Montezinos b.1689 d.1785 to Judith de Jacob Falcaho (Falcao) daughter of Jacob Joseph Falcao and Benvenida Moses Rodrigues. Whilst it appears on the marriage record...

In 1616 Ets Haim was established. May it live to be as old as Metusalem. At least.
feal free to delete my last post as I was lucky on landing on the one page about the Jewish community but on reading closely it only covers the period 1818-1865 ok in some detail
Dear All, Thanks enormously for your help on my last post and I hope to hear from you more. I have another interesting riddle that maybe someone may have an idea on, perhaps Gigi Del Monte or others well versed with Italy or Egypt. When I was in Livorno and I went to visit the cemetery I arrived to look for Nunes Vas and Meldola who are all ancestors on my father's side. However I turned to my rig...
I am interested in any records about the Lucena family (my mother's family).Lucena, de Lucena, Lusena, LuzenaThank you so much in advance!
A real book of curiosities. This communal 18th century accounts book reveals an accounting of the disbursements made by the Italian Jewish community of Venice. These distributions were given to a wide range of individuals for various purposes, including the salary of communal officials, emissaries seeking alms from the Holy Land, and non-Jewish artisans who had provided various services to the Ita...
Something more up todate and getting more relevant where a place is not just a name
I would like to contact with descendants of new Christians from Castelo de Vide (Portugal)!
Dear all, Really pleased to now be part of this group, thank you. Like many of you I am a Nunes Vaz, Senior Coronel, Meldola and Henriques descendent amongst other names. I have many questions and if you don’t mind I will drop them in line by line slowly so as not to bombard you. I was lucky to find more details on the paternal line on my Henriques side who I trace only so far as Bayonne. Sara Mos...
Was Cecil Roth part of the S&P? Any other important scholars, well known thinkers, etc, other than Hahamim? I'm broadly curious, though especially if they were part of the London S&P. Thanks!

I did a complete DNA test with ftdna, still there are some results pending. This is my question someone might know. I have 85% from the Middle East. 60% Asia Minor, 16% Eastern Middle East and 9% North Africa. But, it doesn't say anything about my Jewish background. When I check the site, this is what they say, "Judaism is a religion and not an attribute definable by a DNA mutation." What do you t...
A new Sephardi myth, brought to you from Amsterdam. Throughout the Winter season, the Dutch sell and eat sweet fried 'oliebollen' in the streets that - Hey they are just like sufganiot! This makes them just like many other sweet pastries made of deep-fried dough, including the German Berliner, which is much more like the oliebol in taste, texture and appearance BUT, writes the American Jewish new...
Afte having a long thread about Nunes Vaz, it's time for Vaz Nunes (never the twain shall meet ...) But it is something of an enigma: Sara, the widow of Abrhama Vaz Nunes, announces that Ishac, son of Semuel Lopes Henriques, will marry with Riffica, or Ribca, Vaz Nuns, her daughter. The dowry will be 1500 guilders, but seems to include a "negra" called Isabel. A slave? Maybe family of sorts? In 17...
"Travel hanuquilha", Sousa Machado, Amsterdam 1726. Found it in an old catalogue, does anyone know where it is now?
The other day l posted about the marriage of Abraham Judah Tubi and Abigael Imanuel Nunes in Amsterdam in 1697, at the end l mentioned numerous trees had him also married to a Rachel Mendoza in Livorno in 1708 whilst Abigael was still alive. !!!
Sephardim in the Americas (American Jewish Archives)A series of articles virtually making a book, written in 1992 it eems to set out to explain to its readership just whom the Sephardin are in all their shades.
Just checked the dutch records for Abigail Nunes marriage to Abraham Tobi I came up with two marriage years 1696 and 1697. The Sephardi marriages record ID 2924 gives 1697 and a marriage number 700-163Then the second record entitled Amsterdam Port Marriages number Index 643 gives their middle names and the date 1696 hebrew 5457 and a number AB 13. The first record was good because it gave places o...
