JGSGB Dutch & Sephardi SIG - 19 Sep 2021 2pm – with Bernard Miller – “Sephardic-Nordic-Noir – Part 2”

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB Dutch & Sephardi Special Interest Group (D&S SIG) by Zoom.

• Date: Sunday 19 September 2021
• Time 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 07:00 Salt Lake City
• Title: Sephardic-Nordic-Noir – Part 2
• Speaker: Bernard Miller
• Description: For most people, Scandinavia is still not a geographical region in which we expect to find Sephardic relatives. Even after finding many, since Bernard first introduced us to some of his Scandinavian Sephardic family finds last year, more have appeared and continue to surprise him. Their origins, the paths by which they ended up in Scandinavia, the subsequent history of the Jews there and their geographical spread are just as amazing, as is the fact that when Jews were initially allowed to settle in Denmark, Sephardim were admitted and Ashkenazim were specifically excluded. If you enjoy Nordic Noir mysteries, join us again for the second episode. The plot is definitely thickening.







About Bernard Miller
Bernard Miller, who declared his nationality on the 2011 and 2021 census returns to be ‘Euro-Cockney’, has spent much of his life doing research in one form or another. Living in many countries and working in many languages and several different fields seems to him to be a good basis for applying that research base to his own genealogy. To add to the unexpected genealogical connections, in the past few months, several DNA matches have turned up with people in Denmark to whom he has not yet found family links which would explain the matches. He is now contacting some of the people to try to find out just how they are connected.

After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A on the talk.

The invitation to register is below, but please keep it to yourself!

JewishGen announcement: Dr. Dan Hirschberg - Kraków Collection

Sephardic World: David Baruch Louzada - A Sephardic Life - Sunday Jan 3, 2021

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza: David Baruch Louzada - A Sephardic Life Happy New Year! Our first talk of 2021 showcases what we can all achieve through innovative research. David Baruch Louzada (1640–1699), like other Sephardim of his generation, was an ordinary person living in extraordinary times. His life has been researched by his descendent, Julian Land. Julian will discuss not just David's family and commercial life, but also his social and communal activities. David Baruch Louzada travels took him to Livorno, France, Amsterdam, and across the Atlantic to Barbados at a time when most people rarely went more than a day's walk from home. Julian's research illustrates available resources. Time: Sunday Jan 3, 2021. 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm Jerusalem.

Sephardic World - The Dutch Pimentel family - History and Holocaust - Sunday 10 Jan 2021

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza: "This week we bring you three expert speakers. The Pimentel are one of the oldest Sephardic families in The Netherlands. Henk Dijkman will discuss the family history, stretching back to Medieval Spain. Fokko Weerstra tells the story of Jacques Pimentel during the Shoah. Along with some other Sephardim, he tried to use his distant Catholic ancestry to escape deportation to Poland by the Nazis. Esther Shaya discusses Henriette Pimentel - one of the unsung heroes of the Holocaust - who saved the lives of six hundred children being held prisoner at the Hollandsche Schouwburg-theatre. We are hoping to trace people saved by Henriette and their family members. If you know anyone, please forward this message.
