My most distant ancestor found so far was Abraham Fresco, born in Venice, Italy in 1625 and he was probably the first Fresco who settled in Holland.

I am looking for a link coming from Spain and Portugal.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

----------------------- Origin of name: ----------------------- "Sangre Judia" ("Jewish Blood") by Pere Bonnin. A list of 3,500 names used by Jews, or assigned to Jews by the Holy Office (la Santo Oficio) of Spain. The list is a result of a census of Jewish communities of Spain by the Catholic Church and as found in inquisition records.

The names that are available at the following links have been published by Pere Bonnin journalist and writer in his book "Jewish blood. Spanish Jewish descent and Christian anti-Semitism" (Wind Flower Editions. Barcelona, 1st edition 1998).

These names are drawn from the lists of penitents by the Holy Office, the census of the Jewish quarters and other sources clearly indicate that the person carrying the name is Jewish or Jewish-convert. Therefore, all these names are "suspects" of Jewish descent, but their owners are not aware of it.

Los Apellidos estan sacados de las listas de penitenciados por el Santo Oficio, de los censos de las juderias y de otras fuentes que indican claramente que la persona portadora del apellido es judia o judeoconversa. Tiene Vd. sangre judia?

De namen die beschikbaar zijn op de volgende links zijn gepubliceerd door Pere Bonnin journalist en schrijver in zijn boek "Joods bloed. Spaanse joodse afkomst en christelijke anti-semitisme "(Wind Flower Editions. Barcelona, 1e druk 1998).

Deze namen zijn afkomstig uit de lijsten van de boetelingen door het Heilig Officie, de telling van de joodse wijken en andere bronnen geven duidelijk aan dat de persoon die de naam is joods of joods-convert. Daarom, al deze namen zijn "verdacht" van joodse afkomst, maar hun eigenaren zijn zich er niet bewust van.

שמות הזמינים ב בקישורים הבאים פורסמו על ידי העיתונאי והסופר פר בונין בספרו "דם יהודי. ממוצא יהודי ספרד הנוצרית באנטישמיות" (פרח מהדורות רוח. ברצלונה, 1 מהדורה 1998)1.

אלה השמות לקוחים ברשימות שבעלי תשובה על ידי האינקוויזיציה, המפקד של השכונות היהודיות וממקורות אחרים עולה בבירור כי האדם נושא את השם יהודי או יהודים להמיר את דתם. לכן, כל השמות האלה הם "חשודים" ממוצא יהודי, אך בעליהם אינם מודעים לכך.
