Jorge Arez da Silva Thanks, I found the link to the original article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668061/?tool=pmcentrez in the wikipedia reference section.

Wikipedia also mentions , José_da_Silva---your ancestor?

Quite a few ended up in Jamaica, directly from Portugal, or Spain, or thru Holland and England.

There is a Portuguese man in the very small group of Y-DNA men that my Frankel family belongs to. I don't know the explanation since the others are Polish / Lithuanian.

I do have Jewish friends in Portugal but they were refugees fleeing from France who settled in Portugal during WW II and married Portuguese natives.

I don't have any Portuguese relatives that I know of, but I'm reading _Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean_ now, and one of the things it makes clear is that there was a time when "Portuguese" was virtually synonymous with "Jewish", at least with respect to anyone that immigrated to the Caribbean and South America, so I would not be surprised at all to find a higher percentage of Conversos in Portugal than initially believed.

Dear Jorge

I have many Da Silva's in my family tree (my 13th great grandfather is from 1525). Have a look at this link:

You are my 17th cousin twice removed :) But if we were able to figure out the Sephardic lines, we might be closer. I have a path to Samuel ibn Naghrela (Hebrew: שמואל הלוי בן יוסף הנגיד, Sh'muel HaLevi ben Yosef HaNagid; Arabic: أبو إسحاق إسماعيل بن النغريلة‎ Abu Iṣḥāq Ismā‘īl bin an-Naghrīlah), also known as Samuel HaNagid (Hebrew: שמואל הנגיד, Shmuel HaNagid, lit. Samuel the Prince), (born 993 - died after 1056)

Wendy Ann Hoechstetter I'd love to see and hear more about that book!!

Hatte Anne Blejer, Pirates of the Caribbean is indeed a very enlightening book---and it is very reasonable http://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Pirates-Caribbean-Swashbuckling-Freedo...

I ordered the book yesterday.

fresco it means fresh in portuguese

Hi I am looking for a Jewish ancestor whose daughter Rose Schiller came to the US late 19th century from Austria, and was my great grandmother..
Her mother was said to have been Portuguese.

Thank you.

Hatte, can you here me cussing from where you are? I just came back from the bookstore. If I'd seen this message an hour earlier, I'd have been hunting for the Pirates book. Oh well. Next time.

I have a line of Portuguese Jews in 17th century Dublin. They appear to be connected to the Carvajal family. At least, they were wine merchants. I poke them from time to time to see if I can stir up anything new, but I've pretty much given up. It's just a fact of life that some lines will never be found.

I can hear you cussing.

Private User - do you have any other information about Rose Schiller? Have you found her naturalization or death record that might give a clue as to her mother?

Yes Hatte.
I found her in the 1910 and the 1920 US census.
I know she came as a small child to NY, probably about early 1890's from near Linz, Austria after her mother died in childbirth.

She was my great grandmother, married and divorced Marcus/Mark Weisberger in about 1902, mother of Morris/Martin Weisberger who was my mother, Elinore Weisberger Schwartz's father.

Thank you very much for any information!

I am missing some people on my mother's maternal line. My mtDNA matches me to people who have ancestors in Portuguese-speaking places and DNA testing shows that I have Iberian/Southern European DNA, along with a little bit of Jewish DNA--- and my maternal line is Catholic.

I have DNA cousins who have roots in Portuguese or Spanish-speaking cousins, and all of these cousins have found some "mystery" Jewish DNA. I am distantly related to a Brazilian family that practices Judaism. My hunch is that I have Converso ancestors.

That's very interesting Lynn. My great grandfather's Y-DNA haplogroup includes Portuguese and Brazilian m en although were Ashkenazi.

My father and I seem to belong to this group. It is really interesting and I haven't done my dad's whole tree yet.

I am supposed to be descended from the Perheiras from Portugal; my mother's paternal grandmother was Rosa Schiller from Austria, of this Perheria family.
