Efraiym,
I am looking for the connection between the Buarque family and the Benaim family that came to the US from Gibraltar. Buarque is a made up name that appeared in Brazil in 1740. Nobody knows where the first Buarques really came from. To find Jacob Buarque, who's father was from Brazil to migrate to the US as a Hebrew is either strange or enlightening. If you know of any connection or story about this relationship I would be very grateful to hear from your.
