Genealogy — Monterrey 357/365


I like researching my family’s past to understand better where I come originally from and just out of curiosity. But I hired a professional genealogist, who just sent me my genealogical tree. This is my maternal grandmother’s lineage, going back to the 17th Century. It proves what we always heard in the family: we are descendants of Jews. The mother of the guy at the very top was imprisoned by the Inquisition; she barely escaped being burned alive at the stake, the penalty given to her brother (my great... uncle) and their Jewish friends. This happened in February 1526 on the Canary Islands, and is very well documented.
