Alberto and Jacob were the brothers of Simone Melo's mother, Alegria Foinquinos.
Alberto, Jacob and Alegria were Isaac Foinquinos and Clara Pinto children (they married on April 1903). Isaac Foinquinos was Moses Foinquinos (my grand father) and Esther Foinquinos Hadida's brother. Isaac, Moses and Esther were Abraham Foinquinos children. (Abraham Foinquinos brothers were Jonas of Marseille and Rafael of Brazil).

Isaac was the official interpreter at the German Consulate (his picture is on the post on the Conference d'Algeciras (4/7/1906). He dies in 1907, the same month his daughter Alegria (1907-1937) was born in Safi, Morocco.
