Searching for info on the Benshafrut family. The name may be spelled out in various ways. The family is sephardic and is not very common.
If you ever came across a family tree involvng the family, have any information, etc, I will be happy to be informed.
Thank you

There are 15 entries for Ben Shaprut in Israel online phonebook.
Would it be of any use to you to get the addresses?

I am a "chiprut" searching for my roots. But I am afraid I'm far behind you, just a beginner . Please let me know if you have reached some information.

Hello Vicki,

Nice to finally meet another Chiprut on line.
I have been searching and researching my roots through stories, old pictures and memories of the elderly in my family. I've gotten as far as maybe the 17-18 centuries, not far then that. In addition I attempted going forward in time from Hasdai Ibn-Shiprut but apperantly there is very little info on his marital status and family. In fact, he was never married but he had several brothers who had families, so that may be a start. But it is difficult to follow. I can elaborate on that more if you want me to.
My family, the side of my father, emmigrated to Israel in the 50's from Turkey. I know of many branches that I am trying to piece together now. In ISrael there are very few Chiprut's (or Ben-shafrut, for that matter). I havn't contacted any of them as yet, and I know I should. Do you reside in Israel? You may just be one of them.
If not, where are you from? any idea where to begin? Let me know if I can be of any help.

All the Best, Ronnie

Hello Ronnie

Sorry for beeing so late to reply. As I told you I'm just a beginner and I don't really know from where to start. I would like to know more about your findings. Acctually I'm interested in finding our place of origine.. In which part of Spain was living my family? I'm living in Turkey and I have an uncle (Chiprut of course) who lives in Israel, he is almost 90... Do you think we are from the same family?
I think it will be easier if we can have a direct contact. My e-mail adress is vikichco@hotmail.com... Best regards...
