Victor Perera devotes a chapter to this branch of the Pereire family in his fascinating book The Cross and the Pear Tree: a Sephardic Journey. Chapter VI: The French Pereiras. Juan Abraham Rodrigues and Leonor Abigail Henriques fled to Braganca, Portugal from Estremadura, Spain, in the early 1700s with nine children. In Braganca they lived as baptized New Christians, working in the silk trade. Neighbors alerted inquisitors and Leonor was tried as a secret Judaizer. In 1741 the family relocated to Bordeaux and reclaimed their Jewish religion.
