The cousins from Venezuela

Yesterday, Anais and I met our cousins from Venezuela, Cynthia Obadia and her sister , Karen Ostrow, at a Starbucks Cafe in La Jolla. We first connected thru Facebook. It's very emotional of course to meet an unknown part of our family as we didn't know too much about each other, apart from the fact that we are related.
Hier, Anais et moi avons rencontre nos cousines du Venezuela, Cynthia Obadia et sa soeur Karen Ostrow, dans un cafe Starbucks de La Jolla. Nous avons d'abord fait connaissance a travers Facebook. C'etait tres emouvant bien sur de rencontrer une partie inconnue de notre famille puisque nous ne savions pas grand chose les unes des autres a part le fait que nous sommes de la meme famille.

The meeting was very enjoyable and we talked for hours about the similarities of our families and each other life in different countries.
La rencontre etait tres plaisante and nous avons parle des heures entieres des similarites de nos familles et de nos vies dans differents pays.

Cynthia, Karen and their brother Sergio were born in Caracas, Venezuela and now live in the US. Their mother is Clarita Foinquinos and their grand father was Alberto Foinquinos (the patriarch), son of Isaac Foinquinos and Clara Pinto (Isaac was our grand father Moise Foinquinos' brother). They are also cousins with Eric Foinquinos (the musician) and his sister Estrella, and with Maricler and Carlos Foinquinos.
Cynthia, Karen et leur frere Sergio sont nes a Caracas au Venezuela et vivent aux Etats Unis. Leur mere est Clarita Foinquinos et leur grand pere etait Alberto Foinquinos, fils d'Isaac Foinquinos et Clara Pinto (Isaac etait le frere de notre grand pere Moise). Les 3 sont aussi cousins d' Eric Foinquinos et sa soeur Estrella, ainsi que Maricler et Carlos Foinquinos.

Alberto Foinquinos from Caracas, the patriarch, was Jacobo (the referee) and Alegria Foinquinos' brother. Alegria was Simita's mother. So Alberto was Simita's uncle, a nephew to our grand father Moise and cousin with our fathers Aaron Henri and Alberto Foinquinos. Maybe a little confusing at first!
Alberto Foinquinos de Caracas, le patriache, etait le frere de Jacobo (l'arbitre) et Alegria Foinquinos. Alegria etait la mere de Simita de Haifa. Alberto etait donc l'oncle de Simita, le neveu de notre grand pere et le cousin de nos peres Aaron Henri et Alberto Foinquinos. Un peu confus au premier abord!
