Hi Lucie
I had already found through research the history of the menorcans being brought to the new French Algeria to cultivate the land (not my family trade ) and the large emigration due to lack of work and food there at the time.
I was also thrown into a couple if Capo members on shops to FL but not related to me either.
Minorca was under the King of Aragon rule then the French ? The British then Spain in the 19th C. ( until now)
It seems that their moving to Minorca was probably from Spain mainland after the Spanish Inquisition, then maybe from Minorca to French Algeria (away from the spanish rule)
They may have originally come from Italy to Iberian peninsula then the need to go with the French in Algeria.
Signed up witb the new link you have me.
It is obvious that SALOM was a Jewish name but Do u think CAPO was also a Jewish name originally?
They both show up in Sephardim.com list.
That's another route to follow !
Thanks
