Origins of the family

The family name is sepharadic. It means Phoenician. They might have started in Spain and gone to Morocco like all the jews escaping the Inquisition. They are from the area North of Morocco, Tanger, Tetouan. Simone from Haifa will know more than me on this subject.

I came across the actual text of the Edict of Expulsion from Spain, I copied the link so that you can read the whole text. Every sepharadic jew knows about it, but we rarely if ever had the chance to see the actual text translated.
