We received wonderful news from Brazil, that Daniel Foinquinos Melo's brother, Saulo Foinquinos, a doctor, got married recently with Ruth Gabbay Mendes, a lawyer. Daniel and his family are from Manaus. Friends seem to have come from as far as Atlanta.
For those of you who read portuguese, here's the link to an article written about it:

It must be something in the air, a lot of weddings in our family.
I just heard of Stephanie Foinquinos, daughter of Maurice Foinquinos, my cousin. She recently got married and is now living in Pensylvania. Nice pictures of her wedding are on her Facebook profile.
Also Rubin and Dounia Foinquinos Tal got married in Paris a few months ago, he is the son of Joseph Foinquinos and a musician, his pretty wife is a law student. Great pictures of the wedding are under his and her Facebook profile.
Coming up soon, Iris Foinquinos Tal, daughter of Joseph Foinquinos, is getting married in Paris in June.
Mazal Tov to all! Felicitations! Congratulations! (I wonder if they still do the yoo yoo yoo in Brazil with all the moroccan jews who went to live there).
If you are getting married, let us know, we will announce it on the blog and all the family around the world will know it at once, faster than invitations. Viva el internet!

Facebook family group
This month was the Facebook family group month. Numerous Foinquinos joined the group Foinquinos, among them:
- Of course, Simone Foinquinos Melo, our genealogist, who collected materials, photos and stories for over 20 years and shares them with us on this blog;
- Our other genealogist, from the Pinto side of the family, Carole Bendrihem, who is a real detective, following her hunches till she victoriously finds the right information; she lives in Paris, France; she was the one to suggest a family group on Facebook as she has her own too for the Bendrihem family.
- My sister Patricia Serfati, fashion designer in Paris whose beautiful fashion designs are sold under the brand Patoushka; her daughter Valerie and gd son Ethan who live in Juan les Pins, France.
- My sister Caroline Schwab, trademarks & patent officer at the World Intellectual Propriety in Geneva, she is also organizing a peace festival this fall; also her son Luc Schwab, the Krav Maga expert.
- My sister Cathy Gabay, who lives in Tel Aviv with her two beautiful daughters Stephanie & Karen and her son, Ron Gabay the guitarist; she designs unique jewelry items that she sells in her store on Ben Yehuda.
- My cousin Lilly, second daughter of Albert and Perla, who was one of the first to join the group, from Israel.
- My cousin Evelyne and her husband Shlomo Apatov, who live in Kfar Sava, Israel. She is Albert and Perla's first daughter; also her son Avihay and her daughter Anat who is also one of the first to join the group.
- My cousin Joseph Tal, also son of Albert and Perla, who lives in the South of France; his son Rubin Tal, the musician & composer, who lives in Paris with his wife Dounia; and his daughter Annick Tal who has great pictures on her profile. Rubin also posted some of the old family pictures you see on the group.
The children generation with:
Sabrina Tal Foinquinos, daughter of Jacques, gd daughter of Albert and Perla, just back from a trip in Israel, she lives in Marseille.
Stephanie Foinquinos, daughter of Maurice Foinquinos Tal and gd daughter of Albert and Perla. She now lives in the States and just got married, Mazal tov. Her brother is the famous musician and israeli singer Avraham Tal in Israel (more info on his fan site and a sample of his songs too).
In the Americas:
Sheila Hall, one of the first to join the group too, now in San Diego, California. She is from the Peruvian side of the family. Her mom is Sarah Foinquinos.
Also Maricler Foinquinos, gd daughter of Alberto Foinquinos of Caracas , daughter of Isaac Foinquinos. She lives in Caracas, Venezuela. Her brother Carlos Foinquinos lives in Texas and works as an oil engineer. Also her sons Andres and Miguel Cicenia.
Abraham Manuel Foinquinos, from Peru, son of Jorge Foinquinos, lives in Iquitos, he is a musician. His father is Sheila's mom brother.
Sergio Obadia, gd son of Alberto Foinquinos of Caracas, son of Clarita Foinquinos, he lives and works in Washington DC.
Last but not least Nicholas Foenkinos, different branch and different spelling of the name, but Simone Melo knows that branch too who mainly lives in France and will devote more time to it once she can get out from under the pile of documents on the Foinquinos.
If you wonder how to access the facebook group, easy. Go to http://www.facebook.com/ and open an account by writing your email and a password. When your account is established, you can go to search and type Foinquinos, and you'll see our group, and you can add your profile to it.
So that's all folks, in a typical way we went around the world with our family, a truly international family.
