Shalom.
I am David Pinto, 58, born in London, England, father Cecil Pinto, paternal grandfather Enrico Pinto, paternal grandmother Stella Dolly d'Orsay.
I have lived in Montreal, Canada since the age of 5.
I work for a newspaper.
I have relatives in Canada, the U.S.A., Jamaica, Israel, England and France (although my French relatives are Catholics! that is due to an ancestor who married a Monegasque and converted).
I'm always interested in finding other Jewish Pintos, especially if they are related.
Oh, yes, in addition to English, I speak French fluently and can write in that language. I speak a small amount of Spanish, but can pretty much figure out more Spanish than I actually know -- five years of high-school Latin certainly helps!
I do not speak any Portuguese, but I might be able to guess reasonably at some stuff in that language.

Hola David! Isn't it strange how many Sepharadim work for newspapers? Esp. in the U.S. and South America. Good luck in finding your relatives. Did you try southern California Temple in LAA. The Sephardic Congregation Teferith Israel?

Shalom David,

I have a lot of information about your "Ashkenazic" and mixed ashkenazic-sepharadic US, Canadian, UK, Dutch and German ancestors.

We both descend from Nathan Moses Halevi of Hamburg, Germany and JudaLeib, the father of the famous Asser Levy and his sister Rachel.

looking forward to hearing fromyou,

Best regards,

David Framowitz
