I live in Wichita, KS I just came back from Israel this past Saturday, I spent 10 days there It was beautiful, I purchased a book called the last exodus and it speaks of the Sephardic Jews returning back to there original roots. This book was written by Dell F. Sanchez. Dr. Sanchez has been an international speaker in Mexico, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Sapin and all across America. He has traveled to Israel two to three timeas a year since 1996. His last trip was devoted to field observation and personal interviews with Israelis all across Israel. He is the founder of former CEO of Hispanic Community Educational Television, Incorporated known as KHCE TV-23/cable 22. He is the executive producer and host of a 60 miniute Spanish program called, "Liberacion." Both are viewed daily in San Antionio and south and central TX. This is a little bit of who Dr. Sanches is, he mentions in his book that he had decided to watch a movie called Schindler's List. by Steven spielberg who portrayed one facet of the Jewish Holocaust that occurred during Hitler's revenge in the 1940's, His soul was bursting with such sad and grievous emotion. he says that he realized that there was indeed, some connection between those jews and his soul. his father, Delfino Sanchez 11, shared with him his new discovery regarding the true racial roots of his own father Delfino 1, his father was in his mid 70's when he finally found out a very well kept family secret-that as an infant, his Dad had been given up for adoption by father while he was a high ranking officer in the Mexican Military-who happened to be a Jew from Spain. Suddenly, he was able to see why his Sanchez clan was so peculiar, especially his own Dad. he began to investigate which led up to him writing this book.

There are many other publications about this subject his is only one of them.

Tenna Salas, In this book "The last Exodus" there is a statment about a Conquistador who helped developed the ports from the Rio Panuco to Santa Elana on the Atlantic coast. He aspired to settle the area between Tampico and the mines of Mazapil and Zacatecas; and to extend exploration and settlement across Mexico : form sea to sea" He was thus grated authority to "discover, pacify and settle" a new province to be called the Nuevo Reyno de Leon. The Spanish Inquisition in Mexico accused Carvajal because of his Jewish faith. While he had remained a Catholic publicly, members of his extended family had reverted to Judaism. Among these, the most notable one was his niece, Isabel Rodriquez because of her fervent faith in the God of her ancestors, the Jews. as a result, Carvajal was sented on February 23, 1590, to a six year exile from New Spain (which is Mexico). Before the year was out, while still awaiting execution of the sentence, Carvajal died in the Mexico prison. The primary reason for his stiff sentence was his failure to "denounce" his niece for practising Judaism. This is Stated in this book on pages 93 and 94.

My oldest confirmed ancestor on my mother's side, Jose Augustin Narvaez, was of a family of Sephardic Jews. His family's presence in the New World dates back to the early to mid- 1500s and one of his family was tried by the Inquisition in Mexico. I was able to find information about Jose's birth in Aguascalientes from a posting on FamilySearch.com by an LDS member, but have been unable to confirm the information independently. I thought I would find his baptismal/christening history in Nuestros Ranchos film library but was unsuccessful. If he and his family practiced the Jewish faith in the late 1700s (he was born around 1775), that might account for his name not appearing in these records. I don't know if Jewish families practice a ritual similar to the Catholics and, if so, how to locate such records if they exist. If anyone has any additional information on this subject, please respond via this posting or directly to me at michael_dickey [at] comcast [dot] net. Thanks.

My great grandmother would make comments to my mother and my grandmother that she was of royal blood. While discussing this with one historian and chronologist of Jalisco, he explained that she was probably of Jewish origin and that was the reason she would claim to be of royal blood. He stated that it was popular to believe in the special birth right without actually disclosing the Jewish link.

Has anyone heard of this comment of being of royal blood to imply that they were Jews or of Jewish ancestry?

A lot of people from los altos of jalisco descenD froM king enrique II and his brotHers fadrique And tello. Their Parents were the king alfonso of castile and his jewish mistress. She was a converso to catholicism.
Many of the 1st. European settlers in los altos de jalisco were already related many times over through these brothers or the hijar and frias clan, or the hurtado de mendoza clan, or the altamirano clan. I say clan but I mean families with multitude connections thRough intermarriage.
And they continued marrying family once in los altos. In my family tree I have 2nd and 3rd cousins marrying with occasionAl 1st cousins.
ThE strange part is that even though there is that jewish connection there have been some in. The family tree that were antisemitic. I know of at least 2 officials of the inquisition in my family tree.
