My Great Grandfather in Mexico City(San Angel, Tizapan)
was named Valentin Roa-Vega. I've had a great deal of difficulty finding any information on
the name Roa until I began to check the Sephardic Genealogy sites. The name Roa is listed on
the `Contents of 1031 Kettubot from the Sephardic Portuguese community (Grana or Leghorn Jews) of Tunis.
Here is the website.

hebrew word `Ruach'(rooah), meaning `spirit'?
