If you have French Sephardic Ancestory, PLEASE go to the website www.geocities.com/sephardim2003/ and post your information, so we can link up the French Sephardic families that have been dispursed everywhere!

We are also doing research, to link up families with the Semetic Stain. Please read the article and if your family has the stain, leave your name and email address so we can link up others that have your name and the semetic stain.

Thank you so much, and Blessings, Deborah

Madam,

I am looking for the familial origines of Isaac Lapeyrère, born in Bordeaux in 1596, author of several books, the most known of them being "Du rappel des juifs", 1643 and "Praeadamitae …", 1655 ("Men before Adam …").

His mother's parents were: Julien (de) Malet, or Mallet, and Catherine de Terrague, who herself was the grand-daughter of a: Gabriel de Tarrégua, maybe from spanish and judaic origin. Till now, I could'nt find anything about the family of Julien Malet. He was Treasurer of the King of Navarre Henri III, who became later Henri IV, King of France.

I found on the web your message about surnames, and I am very curious to know if you have more information about the Malet. I should be very thankful if you wanted to give me an answer about this.

With my best regards
E. Quennehen

What is the Semetic Stain?

I'm sorry that this is unrelated to geneology, but I am looking to communicate with somebody French and Jewish to help me with a chapter of a novel I'm working on. It would involve answering some simple questions about Jewish life in France.
If interested, contact me at vivico1 @ aol.com

My neices have the Semetic Stain.

We are now doing a Family Tree DNA Project called Canadian Anusim.

We have people sending in the DNA and we are going to compare it to other Jewish DNA and the Levitical gene.

I am from Mauritius, I do not know if you have any information regarding this branch of the family? Do I have any Jewish connection please.

Thanks , please be in touch.

I'm sorry that I don't have any information on this topic. But I as wondering if your mother's name was Marthe? Also we're you from Lille? My mother, Phyllis Lenaghan, had a penpal in high school from Lille. Are you the Elisabeth that visited my family in Detroit in 1969? Thank you, Brigid Lenaghan Taylor
