by Luis : This is only touching recent Jewish Surnames; Converted Jews aka novo cristaos were sent or migrated around time of Inquisition in Portugal, to the Cape Verdean Islands with surnames of fruitS. Names like Baptista, Lima, Carvalho, Mendes, Pires, Oliveira, Pina, Pereira, Silveira, Silva and much more ... So first wave of Iberian Jews Sephardic to Cape Verde happened long ago. In a section of Cemetery in Praia there is a section of Jews with all headstone written in Hebrew. Many of our customs can be traced to Jewishness. The Benchimol, Brigham, Levy, Wanhon, Cohen, Goth, Azancoth etc came later via Morocco...Very interesting indeed
Shallom. Vejo este video com muta emoção porque traz referencias, entre outras, acerca da Majestosa Santo Antão, como o Poeta José chamava a Ilha. Ao mesmo tempo, fazem lembrar da minha avó MARIA MELO LIMA que era de Tanque da Ribeira Grande. Tantas coisas desse tempo e dessa aprendizagem e herança de vida que eu carrego hoje conmigo como parte da minha herança de vida
