31. Richard de Dirsztay (private communication around) 2000. The Dirsztay Family Tree was unexpectedly provided by Richard de Dirsztay #399 to Peter Lousada #483. See here for some background to this gift and the probable role of Istvan de Dirsztay #220 - to which we add that as Istvan was a relative he may have communicated with Richard after noting Peter Lousada in Budapest. This tree has been uploaded and we have there made some critiques of it including of its speculative and sketchy Spanish ancestry of the Baruch Lousadas. Conveniently its text was extracted by John Bury. Data in the tree needs to be reviewed against standard references eg ref 341 below. We have found gravestone data (on Find a Grave) which updates details for Laszlo #410, and we are in contact with a descendant of Emma #410 and can thus confirm that Emma survived WW2 and left Hungary in 1948, and that contact was kept with Emma's 1st cousin Denise #404 from Canada until the latter's death around 2020. But the tree appears to be in error as to the parents of Baron Hendrik de Menasche. There are of course numerous Fischls, and it would seem that the Lajos Fischl who was married to Jozefa Figdor and whose daughter married Isaac Rotman in 1902 in Budapest (there is a record of this marriage on familysearch.org) cannot have been Lajos #1593 1872-1932.

39. J A Giuseppi 'Sephardi Jews and the early years of the Bank of England' Trans. JHSE XIX 1960. He writes that on 28 Jun in the initial year of subscription ie 1694 Moses Barrow of London (Merchant) 'subscribed £100; his holding he retained until February 1720. It is clear that this Moses Barrow cannot be Moses Baruh Lousada, Gabay in 1663, who died in 1699, but it may perhaps be that he was a member of the same family. There are a great many dealings recorded on his account, of which many are with members of the Community'. JHSE Miscellanies VI gives early Bank of England stockholders in List A and List B gives recipients of some of the dividend payments. We conclude here that the 2nd Moses Baruch Lousada was a grandson of the 1st, via Abraham #1352 who went to Barbados from London and whose son Moses made the reverse journey!

Colyer-Fergusson was a meticulous collector of data, but his tree is uncertain in the earliest period.

A copy of the Lousada pages has been uploaded (15MB). John Bury went in and photographed it - he did a small intro on p1! Some details of the early years were merely transcribed from others and included for completeness - thus the idea 6 or 7 sons of Moses Baruh Lousada comes from Lucien Wolf.

On 26 Apr 2016, he provided an update as follows 'I only just discovered that I did not start early enough. I missed about a dozen entries from Mosseh Baruch Lousada. He payed promesas from as early as 6 Nissan 5409 (19 march 1649) until 1 Nissan 5419 (25 March 1659). I assume that after this last payment he went to London. So he was in Amsterdam for a whole 10 years! Paving the way for the rest of them, I presume. He never pays fintas which means that he was never judged to be wealthy enough for that. The amounts he pays are relatively small, somewhere between 1 and 8 guilders. But he did pay, thereby proving that he belonged to the community. I think there are no other sources that mention him in Amsterdam, which proves the value of these taxlists'.

107. Ton Tielen email of 15 Jul 2013 citing CAA PJC 1144 Escamoth D of Dotar which showed 'Ribca filha de Raphael Montezinos em Liorne terz grau com David Baruch Louzada' meaning she was related in the third degree, perhaps grand-niece. David Baruch Louzada became a member of Dotar in 1684. Dotar was one of quite a large number of charities set up by the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam (there are dozens of them), but it was and is the most prestigious one. It was a lottery and the money was brought together by the members, invested wisely and the yearly profits were divided between two or three young ladies (donzellas) related to members of Dotar, or to poor orphan girls, to be used as a dowry. In 1714 David's place was taken by his eldest son Ishac Baruch Louzada (filho mais velho). Grants were sought for Rebecca Montezinos of Livorno in 1692 and 1700.

108. Ton Tielen email of 22 Jul 2013 citing City Archives Amsterdam 334, Portuguese Jewish Community 19, scan 374, page 659 which records David Baruch Lousada as Gabay de Terra Santa. Before his time in the post, the charity made awards to some Baruch Lousadas and Lumbroso Lousadas from Livorno who sought to go to Jerusalem in the 1650s. The data lists Mira widow of Daniel Baruch Lousada who received 6 grants 1652-7, and Judica widow of Abraham Lumbroso Lousada who received 7 grants 1654-61. The latter was of Livorno and we presume the former was as well. This data raises the question as to who in Amsterdam applied for the grants. Ref 105 indicates that only Moses #46 was regularly present in Amsterdam in the period.

109. Ton Tielen email of 21 Jul 2013 questions whether the 2 Miguels are the same person - he reports Samuel de Casseres (born Amsterdam ~1630) was the only son of Miguel Gomes 'o manco' who took the name 'de Casseres' upon arrival in Amsterdam. He reports Simon de Caseres was born in Madrid in 1615 and his 'supposed' father Miguel was teaching in Coimbra in the same year.

Edgar Samuel did however point out that her father was Jacob Levi. In consequence, Judith's common name of Judith Joseph Levi reflects her stepfather's name not her father's (see genealogy of Simon Barrow of Barbados for Judith's ancestors and descendants).

This document, written in preparation for the departure from Barbados for an unstated destination of Rachel and Moses Nunes Castello and also Elias Nunes Castello, empowers Rachel to act on behalf of herself, Moses and Elias; which seems to indicates Rachel would return. The document has been uploaded.

140. Cecil Roth 'A life of Menasseh ben Israel'  Jewish Publication Society of America Philadelphia 1934 p63 refers to the passage from Madrid to Amsterdam via Venice of Abraham Israel Pereira without citing sources. However, on p317 it becomes clear that in 1644 Isaac Israel Pereira was first in Amsterdam and founder of the Pereira yeshiva. On p331 he refers to correspondence between Abraham Israel Pereira and Antonio de Luis Montezinos which is contained in a London copy of a ''Hope of Israel". On p102 is noted the effusive dedication to the brothers Pereira in ''Treasure of the Laws'', this book having been completed in a rush on 18 Apr 1647 - this is the dedication referred to on p393 of ref 123.

141. On 22 Jul 2014 Ton Tielen provided an extract from Amsterdam records which gives a translation of the will of Jacob Pereira. This will shows multiple close links between Abraham Israel Pereira and Abraham Baruch Louzada. The Baruch Lousada link with the Henriques Faro family - which was evident from London circumcision and Amsterdam marriage records - is reinforced by the Israel Pereira link with both families as shown in this data. The data also shows a marriage link with the Den Haag Louzadas - who were probably close Baruch Lousada relatives who left Iberia just after Isaac #42 left for Livorno. Their founder Abraham #1875 appears to have been the stepson of Isaac #42, and he may have travelled with Abraham Israel Pereira arriving in Amsterdam in 1645. Isaac #45, probable son of Abraham #1875 became father-in-law to Jacob Israel Pereira who took Isaac's daughter Sarah as his 2nd wife. The will itself shows traces of the 20 year-old dispute between Jacob Israel Pereira and the sons of his marriage to Sarah. This dispute was taken to the civil courts but as discussed in pages 15-7 of reference 297 below the Burgomasters of Amsterdam overturned the Court of Holland's judgement and left the fate of the missing ketubot to be resolved by the Jewish community as a matter of synagogal discipline. Other reflections of the New Christian society of Villaflor appear in the will - thus there is a bequest to a cousin Esther de Matos the surname being that of his maternal grandmother.

142. Carrasco Vazquez and Jesus Antonio Entidad 'La minoria judeoconversa en la epoca Conde Duque de Olivares: auge y ocaso de Juan Nunez Saravia (1585-1639)' Tesis Doctorale Universidad de Alcala 2005 - cover page and  p445 have been uploaded. The thesis may be readily obtained at https://ebuah.uah.es/dspace/handle/10017/193. The thesis examines the evidence collected by the Spanish Inquisition against Juan Nunez Saravia, and despite the fact that d'Olivares on the whole was able to protect the Portuguese New Christians who participated in his banking reform, he failed on this occasion for Saravia died impoverished in 1639. He was imprisoned in 1632. Because his sister Ana married Juan Rodrigues Lamego, he had strong family connections to the Lamegos of Rouen, including to Bartolomeo Febos and Luis de Oliveira Lisboa. We query some details in the chart in this reference - for example, though Fernan Mendes is shown a son of Antonio Rodrigues Lamego he was possibly a step-son and thus really a son of Antonio Mendes Lamego of Madrid (see ref 23 p27), and that Antonio Luis Morais was a son-in-law not a son of Luis de Oliveira Lisboa.

The possible source of the error was pointed out by Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman as 'Memorias de Litteratura Portugueza' v3 p258 - a list of contents of this 4 vol collection has been unloaded.

145. By his email of 18 Aug 2014, Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman advised that Pereira was born in Villaflor in 1606 (circa 1605 is given in his final report p1). His father was Antonio Pereira. (It is common to find that the birthdate of Thome Rodrigues Pereira is given as ~1601 in Madrid). By his subsequent email of 28 Aug 2014 Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman advised that he had uncovered marriage data for both Tomas Rodrigues Pereira and Fernando Montezinos. By his 12 Sep 2014 email he provided details from original records and his (subsequently updated) report has been uploaded. This hugely amplifies our original report of the origin of Abraham Israel Pereira aka Tomas Rodrigues Pereira. Images of the 1628 marriage of Tomas Rodrigues Pereira and Beatriz Fernandes Gomez are uploaded here. Citing the 1992 work of Maria Jose Pimenta Ferro Tavares, Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman noted that Antonio the father of Tomas Rodrigues Pereira was active in the trade of sugar which he sold in Lisbon and Flanders.

149. By his email of 3 Oct 2014, Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman advised that he had just uncovered Livorno data - from a secondary published source - on a roll of electors for the position of treasurer of the Livorno Synagogue which indicates that Isaac Baruch Louzada #42 was a nephew of Abraham Levi Lousada and from this one can deduce that either Isaac's mother was a Levi Lousada or Abraham Levi Lousada's wife was a Baruch Lousada. An extract of this data has been uploaded.

153. By his email of 4 Dec 2014, Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman provided many details of the ancestors of Fernando Montezinos whose early years can be found summarised here. In his full report can be found the claim to the Cuenca Inquisition by Fernando Montezinos that his great-grandfather came from Jerez de la Frontera near Cadiz to Villaflor around 1492 with the dubious claim that he was an Old Christian nobleman. The father of Fernando Montezinos was Manuel Lopes Telles, the grandfather was Juan Lopez Tellez and the great-grandfather was Manuel Lopez Tellez. A nephew of Fernando Montezinos, Manuel Lopes Telles, married Violante Pereira of Villaflor and died in Madrid in 1644. Details are also included of some Pereira de Lousadas of Toulouse around 1660. Later, the data appeared in a conference paper that he read on 24 Mar 2015 in Israel at the Mapping the Anousim Diaspora Conference.

Taxes were to be levied on births, deaths and marriages and also on bachelors over 25 and childless widowers. Assessors were to have produced their population details by 1 May 1695.

157. Henry Roche by email 20 Jan 2015 advised that Walter Jacob Levi was not the son of Jacob Joseph Levi but the son of Jacob & Elizabeth Levi of Portsmouth whose children in order were Judith, Anna, Walter & Isaac (twins), Solomon & Sarah. Henry Roche advises that he descends from Judith. Henry Roche's listing of the Jews of Portsmouth on http://synagoguescribes.com/blog/portsmouth-records-by-henry-roche/ contains some details of the Jews of Portsmouth eg it indicates that the father of Jacob was Benjamin Levi of Wiesbaden, but it also provides some further Portsmouth links to Barbados. Subsequently, by email on 5 Apr 2015, Henry Roche suggested that a pre-1817 link was formed because two sisters-in-law of Judith Joseph Levi's sister Simha Levi ie Elisabeth and Hannah Cohen married Moses Nathan and Moses Levi of Portsmouth and London.

162. Nicholas Draper in his 21 Jul 2015 email  to Tony Harding commented that after agreeing a £20m sum to be paid to the slave-owners, the British government in 1835 launched a tender, inviting financial syndicates to raise that sum in conjunction with a new debt issue. Only one bid was received - from Nathan Rothschild and Sir Moses Montefiore - and it was to underwrite only £15m of the new paper because some colonies (Mauritius, Cape of Good Hope, Barbados) were on a slower timetable and in the end their balance of £5m was paid directly in Government stock and not underwritten (which of course led to some merchants making small fortunes from under-informed planters in Mauritius). Because only one financing bid was received there were suggestions of collusion, but ref 50 p102 points out that the unfavourable terms accepted by the underwriting syndicate ultimately benefited its philanthropic reputation(s).

163. P Lynn and G Armstrong 'From Pentonville to Pentridge' State Library of Victoria 1996 provide the following description of the early evolution of Victoria's prisons - 'In December 1851 there were only 29 people in prison in Victoria. Two years later there were 955. The Victorian gold rush lured to Victoria ex-convicts and escapees - from New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land - who re-offended and were sent to prison. The prisons soon became overcrowded, so the Victorian government decided to use prison hulks. In 1852 it purchased the ship President and had it fitted out as a floating prison. But the prison population continued to rise, so the following year the government purchased the Deborah, Success and Sacramento for conversion into prison ships, followed by the Lysander in 1854. The ships had their masts removed and were anchored off Williamstown on Hobson's Bay. They held the worst offenders in the penal system.'

164. By email on 28 Jul 2015, Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman provided data from the Archives of the Ministry of Justice of Spain. This data has been uploaded as have 2 documents referred to in this data - document 6 of 17 Apr 1915 reporting the failure of the 1915 application, and document 3 of 20 Apr 1861 where a copy of the Italian title deed is requested from the Spanish authorities by Emanuel #93 via the Spanish herald Juan Antonio Jimenez y Alvarez.

165. Catherine Hall et al 'Legacies of British Slave-ownership' Cambridge UP 2014; Nicholas Draper by email has sent us some advance data from the next publication of the project. Simon Barrow and Emanuel Baruh Lousada #142 each received £2,536 18S - see  https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/11830 in connection with Banks, St Ann, Jamaica which lists Simon Barrow as a co-owner. Emanuel (as executor and mortgagor) was also a recipient of £4,194 18S 1D in connection with a plantation - see https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/claim/view/12171. In the latter case Isaac Baruh Lousada jnr (probably Isaac #68 Emanuel's nephew or possibly Isaac #92 father-in-law of Isaac #68) was unsuccessful in obtaining compensation. It is not stated which plantation this relates to but 'Vere' points to the Parish of Vere containing the Carlisle Estate, but the £10,000 mortgage finance provided by Emanuel - an amount at great risk - makes it possible to understand why Emanuel #142, ignoring Isaac #68, left Peak House to the next son of Moses ie John Baruh Lousada and also appointed him as executor of his will!

This article discusses in some detail the hulks referred to in 163 above, and shows that the President, the Deborah and perhaps the Success were brought into service during Samuel Barrow's term and the Sacramento and the Lysander during John Price's term. Stockades were built - initially at Pentridge in Samuel Barrow's term - and also at Richmond, Williamstown and Collingwood. Samuel Barrow's title did not immediately reflect the additional facilities brought into service during 1852 - the President and the Deborah being additional to Pentridge Stockade. Perhaps some of the additional stockades were also brought into service in 1852 as well.

175. On 25 Dec 2015, Ton Tielen provided some further 'Lousada' occurrences in the notary books of the Amsterdam Municipal Archive - these occurrences have been uploaded. This set of data added to our knowledge of the Curacao and Amsterdam Baruch Lousadas, and also the Livorno Levi Lousadas. It suggested that there was another sibling Daniel in the family of Isaac Baruch Lousada #42 - who perhaps went to Nevis before 1674. It also suggested that the Den Haag Louzadas - whom we knew had links with the Israel Pereira and Mercado families in parallel with the Baruch Lousadas - may also be Baruch Lousadas but perhaps like Abraham Israel Pereira they came to Amsterdam/Den Haag via Venice rather than Livorno.

176. A profile has been uploaded of a remarkable Sephardic Jew Jeronimo Nunes da Costa aka Moses Curiel.

180. A set of 214 images of the trial of Amador de Lousada was obtained from Torre de Tomba and though they difficult to read, transcription by Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman has yielded an astonishing amount of information. His transcript has been uploaded and in this transcript can be seen Villaflor, Amador's unmarried daughter Brites/Briatis/Beatriz Alvares, a paternal grandmother with the same name, and the names Jeronimo and Rodriguez. The connection between Amador de Lousada and Tomas Rodrigues Pereira aka Abraham Israel Pereira whose mother had the name Beatriz Geronima is considered here.

181. On 21 Mar 2016, Laura Arnold Leibman provided the following information: John Castello Montefiore was baptized on 20 April 1810 at St. Michael's Cathedral as an adult.  He is listed as a free mulatto (Barbados Church Records 1637-1887 film no 001157925). He married Mary Elizabeth Law on 15 April 1818, also at St. Michael's Cathedral (Barbados Church Records 1637-1887 film no 001157926). Mary Elizabeth was born in 1799 and died in 1877. In the records of their marriage, they both have the acronym FM after their names, again meaning free mulatto. While this may seem appalling, records such as these were actually the official way that people were recognized as having the higher status of being partially white. Indeed, John Castello Montefiore and his son John Montefiore were two of the wealthiest men of African descent in Bridgetown. Their names often appear in histories of the emancipation era (1800-1833/34). They signed numerous petitions for civil rights for people of African descent, and were important merchants. A great resource on this era is Melanie Newton's 'The Children of Africa in the Colonies: Free People of Color in the Age of Emancipation' of 2012. John had a store on Swan Street, near most of his Jewish kin (Barbados Newspapers 1854 gives the address, but it is also in the Vestry books for St. Michael's parish).

See http://lumbroso.info/3.html which contains the following secondary data 'Un acte du Consulat de France du 24 avril 1686 indique que sont comparus devant le chancelier du consulat: Jacob et Rafael de Daniel Lumbroso, Moses Mendes Ossuna et Jacob Baruk Lousada, habitants de cette ville qui, ayant représenté l'état de nécessité extrème au quel leur communauté est réduite, ont demandé à emprunter une somme de mille pièces de 8 réaux.

187. We have uploaded from the internet some arrival data for Victoria in which 2 Lousadas appear. The birthdates suggested that J(ohn) b~1839 and Charles b~1841 may have fallen into the family of the Yorkshire Lousadas as brothers of Arthur b1837 but Alan Pereira advised that he could not find them in English birth records. Accordingly it now seems likely that these 2 records refer, notwithstanding the inaccurate birthdate estimation and transciption errors, to sons of John Baruh Lousada of Peak House namely John Mortimer Lousada b1841 or perhaps Harry Burningham Lousada b1844 and Edward Charles Lousada b1854.

The original record books can be consulted if the recopied books are dubious, but of course only where the original record books exist. The recopied will record of Aaron Baruh Lousada #376 is an example of what was produced.

210. Stanley Mirvis (unpublshed) citing the 1759 will of David Baruch Lousada - but note that although the analysis of wills in this reference suggested 3 previously unknown (to us) female Baruch Lousadas of Barbados, as we discuss here only one of these (Rebecca) is compatible with London will evidence and the other 2 brothers-in-law of David Baruch Lousada #1263 arose via Massiah siblings instead. That is, Mirvis' suggestion is an over-reaction that is inherited by ref 311 our critique of which may be found here.

211. Ton Tielen provided the following information on 3 May 2017: A Jacob Mesias from Tittuao (Tetouan, Morocco), passed through Amsterdam, and was given a subsidy of 5 guilders for his voyage to Barbados, on the 4th of Quislef 5447 (1687). He may have been the father of Daniel Massiah. Source: CAA 334, image 95, page 175. But as we note here Daniel was born in 1676, so perhaps was born in Morocco or on the journey either to or from Amsterdam.

The relevant part of this email has been uploaded but note that she didn't marry Isaac Franco Nunes. Though unsuccessful in winning a dowry with Dotar she married Jacob Franco Nunes in Amsterdam on 6 Elul 5435 as shown in http://www.dutchjewry.org/phpr/amsterdam/port_isr_gem_marriages/amsterdam_port_isr_gem_marriages_view.php?editid1=35.

On pages 196-203 may be found an account of Alexander Maconochie's liberal practices leading to the discharge of 920 doubly-convicted prisoners and 600 'new hands' being given tickets-of-leave, while noting Maconochie's inability to deal successfully with homosexuality and The Ring (of incorrigible 'old hands'). On pages 204-5 Bryan Gandevia is cited on extreme punishments proposed by Samuel Barrow. Ref 215 however does not identify Samuel Barrow with these extreme punishments.

215. Bryan Gandevia 'Secondary Punishment in the Penal Period in Australia 1788 - c1850' Delivered to a meeting of the Medico-Legal Society held on 28 May 1977 at RACS Melbourne - the published version of this address has been uploaded and Samuel Barrow does not appear in it.

219. Readily available data found on ancestry.com on 24 Sep 2017 shows that Florence May Prince was the widowed sister-in-law of Charles Lloyd Bemrose, a son of Margaret Romana Simpson, who was a great-granddaughter of Joseph Wright of Derby. She married Herbert Cheney Bemrose on 30 Mar 1904 but he died on 30 Jun 1930. The only surviving sibling was Romana Gertrude Bemrose who died in 1969. There is no record of a marriage between Florence May b1874 and William Poulett Lousada b1881, but they lived together for almost a decade in Surrey, mostly at Withy Spring House on Petworth Road, until her death in 1953.

220. The last (title) page of the document found at https://archief.amsterdam/inventarissen/inventaris/334.nl.html#A232400002 in Sep 2017 contains the names of the 1670 Mahamad members. It also contains a list of most if not all of the Sephardic community members in 1670 in the lead up to the construction of their Synagogue consecrated in 1675. This list has been uploaded and can be found here, and contains the signatures of Jacob Baruch Lousada d1681 #1388, and Isaac Louzada 1645-1714 #50 one of the Den Haag Louzadas.   

221. The confession transcript and genealogy of Maria de Lousada was kindly provided by Florbela Veiga Frade in Sep 2017. Several comments and/or corrections are needed here. The wife of Henrique de Lousada appears as Leonor Dias in the genealogy, and though Leonor Mendes is shown twice in the confession transcript we show the former alternative here. Isabel Mendes appears in the genealogy as dying in 1658 and as a sister of Henrique, but not in the confession transcript where Isabel Rodrigues appears. Confusingly Isabel Mendes de Lousada who married Pedro Rodrigues was an aunt of Henrique, and as shown in ref 145, she died before the 1656 Madrid will of her son Antonio. That is, it seems that some reference to Isabel Mendes (de Lousada) has been mistakenly imported into the genealogy. We suggest that Isabel Mendes in the genealogy should be read as Isabel Rodrigues who as per the confession transcript married Antonio Dias, and therefore since Henrique married Leonor Dias was probably a sister-in-law of Henrique. Accordingly, the genealogy appears to be in error in making Isabel a sister of Henrique - she was a sister-in-law via the 2 Dias marriages!

222. At the head of Claire Myers' genealogy of the Barbados Lindos is Abraham 'de Haydo' Lindo. His marriage to Esther Nunes Castello is shown here - http://www.dutchjewry.org/phpr/amsterdam/tim_sephard_marriages/amsterdam_tim_sephard_marriages_view.php?editid1=3488. On 9 Oct 2017 Ton Tielen suggested that Abraham was the son of David de Haedo, via the following marriage which came to light thanks to Michael Waas. A prenuptial agreement of David de Haedo and Ester Lindo is at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10212776633764783&set=p.10212776633764783&type=3&theater&ifg=1 and for the marriage record see http://www.dutchjewry.org/phpr/amsterdam/tim_sephard_marriages/amsterdam_tim_sephard_marriages_view.php?editid1=2452. Ton Tielen gave a brief summary of the prenup: David de Haedo (assisted by his mother Catharina Angela le Maire, widow of Julius de Haedo) and Esther Lindo (daughter of Judike Lindo, widow of Davidt Palatio - see http://www.dutchjewry.org/phpr/amsterdam/tim_sephard_marriages/amsterdam_tim_sephard_marriages_view.php?editid1=4109 for this marriage) express their wish to marry. The date of the prenup was 20 March 1662 with nice signatures - David signs as Davidt Dehaedo aka Juan Pedro Dehaedo. Ester Lindo's will is at https://archief.amsterdam/inventarissen/inventaris/5075.nl.html#NOTD00171000011. Michael Waas commented that the mother of David ie Catharina Angela le Maire had an Antwerp connection shown in http://search.arch.be/eadsearch/inventaris/index/taal/dut/archiefbewaarplaats/BE-A0541/eadid/BE-A0541_005619_006781_DUT/inventarisnr/I561967811264/level/file#c:0.c:0.c:949 and that she was the daughter of Peter le Maire; possibly Peter le Maire came from the family of Isaac le Maire, probable New Christian, and the largest initial shareholder in VOC who later came into conflict with it. Ton Tielen noted that David de Haedo was a 'Portuguese merchant' from Gulik a small town in Germany; that Judith Cohen Henriques the mother of Esther Nunes Castello was a daughter of Jacob Cohen Henriques and Judith Arary from Antequerra in Spain; and in the 1651 marriage bann of Judith Cohen Henriques and Jacob Nunes Castello (at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10212777211819234&set=p.10212777211819234&type=3&theater) it is stated that the bride had a father in Brazil and that her godmother/witness was Rachel Capadoce; and that Esther Lindo came from an earlier (Lindo) marriage of Judith Cohen Henriques (not the Pallache/Palatio marriage referred to above).

On 19 Sep 2018 Michael Waas added the following initial comment after "doing a deep dive into the archives in Antwerp.....essentially.....Beatris Arnouts was first married to Pieter Le Maire. They had two daughters, one of whom is Catherine Le Maire, married to Julian de Haedo. Beatris married Alexander Lindo after Pieter passed away and had several children with him. Ton found Beatris's will in Amsterdam as well."

224. On 30 Oct 2017 Pat Stafford provided 3 Barbados Baruch Lousada wills and these have been uploaded. The will of Rachel #1181 was discussed by Karl Watson (in ref 131 Chapter 11 p214), while those of David #612 and David #1263 were discussed by Stanley Mirvis in ref 210. For the 1738 deed, probably linked to the will of David #612, see ref 112 and for the 1705 testament of David #612 and Rebecca Lopes Mirandella see ref 194.

225. On 1 Nov 2017 Michael Waas drew our attention to 'Capitulacoems e ordenanças do modo que se deve governar a Hebra' de cazar orfas e conzelas, fundada nesta Cidade de Liorne o ano 5404 [1644] ... aprovadas, e publicadas na Junta Jera] de dita Hebrà, deste ano 5487' available on https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100157547 - this is a history of the Livorno dowry charity. In it may be found Isaac Baruch Lousada (1644), and Abraham (1644), Daniel (1653), and Daniel son of Isaac Levi Lousada (1707).

Recorded for 1707, Abraham Messiah (son of Isaac) was paid 11 guilders to go to Tetuan in Morocco, while Isaac is sent to Gibraltar and is paid 20 guilders. Perhaps they are related to Jacob (see ref 211 above) from Tetuan. This adds a further clue to the origins of the Massiahs of Barbados.

It may be found here - https://www.portrait.gov.au/postcards/2017/10/rothschilds-montefiores-gold-rush and has been uploaded. It has its origin in ref 285 below. Note that Joseph Barrow Montefiore is therein incorrectly referred to as a brother of his nephews Jacob and Eliezer Levi Montefiore; and Leslie who is given the lifespan 1830-1909 and who is thus the oldest son of Jacob Barrow Montefiore is given as the son of Joseph Barrow Montefiore.

284. Text provided by the South Australian Gallery to us on 28 Jan 13 had been reproduced from notes originally prepared at a time when brother Joseph was dead ie after 4 Sep 1893, and stated that the painting was presented 18 months before the notes were written. As the notes were originally written when Jacob was alive (and with 2 sons and 2 daughters alive) ie before 3 Nov 1895 the painting was presented in the Mar 1892 - May 1894 period. The notes further stated 'The picture is a handsome one, and depicts Mr Montefiore in the most lifelike and characteristic manner. He is sitting in his favourite old armchair, with one hand resting on a copy of The South Australian Register, which is on a writing table, and with the other hand on his knee. The picture is an admirable work of art, and an ornament to the Gallery'. We judge that the painting was done when the subject was around 70 ie around 1870. The  notes also inform us that the subject was appointed as honorary Commissioner on behalf of South Australia at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition. The sons alive at the time were Leslie Jacob (d1909) and Joseph Gompertz (d1915), while the daughters were Ada Rachel (d1927) and Victoria Violet (d1933).

285. Rothschild Annual Review 2011-2 (uploaded) - see pp24-31 for the earlier version of ref 282. Note that the 18th August 1852 shipping order shown on p31 was clearly by Jacob not Joseph Barrow Montefiore. 

286. On 6 Feb 2018 Matteo Giunti sent images of 4 ketubots from the first ('A') register of ketubots from the Livorno Jewish Archive and these fall within the 1626-49 period. He provided a summary (by Michael Waas) here, and also the 4 images themselves.

287. The genealogy of the Surinam Baruch Lousadas provided by Fenneke Lousada-Scheltens is uploaded here. This data derives from Iwan de Vries whose compilation may be found online eg on Geanet. However, de Vries does not give references which makes it difficult to check the sources. We doubt the paternal links in several key cases and until these can be checked against synagogue names we will proceed with 2 amendments we consider should be made to the early Baruch Lousada data contained therein. First, it is uncommon for a father to have a son with the same name, and thus we are not accepting without proof that David #1528 was the son of David #1586; a much better candidate to be father of David #1528 is Isaac #1297 whose father was David #44. In addition, the first son of Isaac #1568, who married Rosa Hannah Robles de Medina in Surinam in 1746, is shown as Abraham born 21 Aug 1747 in Jodensavanne, and the second son was David born 31 Dec 1749 also in Jodensavanne - but since both grandfathers were named David it would seem that Abraham is misplaced and that David #2187 was in fact the first son. Accordingly we make Isaac #1582 the father of Abraham #2165. It is of course beyond doubt that Abraham #1587 had a son Isaac, for Isaac son of Abraham appears in Paramaribo on or around 11 Sep 1749 as a 'taker' of a commercial bill (ref 175 #7); and therefore we would expect there to have been a grandson named Abraham ie Abraham #2165. These 2 amendments thus appear in our chart of the early Baruch Lousadas of Surinam and Curacao. In our critique of the Surinam genealogy we examined all relevant gravestone records revealed in ref 125, with all minor discrepancies taken into account, before inclusion into our main genealogy. As noted here, we doubt the lifespan of David #2187 given in the de Vries genealogy, and also we doubt that the first 2 children shown of Moses #1938 were his.

On page 282 in footnote 20 may be found the observation that Abigail Dias da Fonseca alias Beatris de Caceres had a host of descendants named 'Keizer' and that Esther Dias married David Keizer on 13 May 1672. However the matter does not appear to be settled - an online discussion in Aug 2018 covered the admission of David Keiser of Hamburg which was approved by the entire Mahamad (https://archief.amsterdam/inventarissen/inventaris/334.nl.html?fbclid=IwAR0NBWCG9n811WhkF-rvWTfqdb7dz0PVtgA3glLdp4E9qbGU_ayw39gQzYw#A01510000074) and Ton Tielen noted 'that it looks like David Keyser is Ashkenasi, and asked for membership of the Amsterdam community on the basis of his ketubah with a daughter of Aaron Dias da Fonseca, which was signed by Haham Isaac Aboab. Here's the contradiction I read in the decision of the Mahamad:- in general, they do not grant membership to Ashkenasim, yet in individual cases they take the liberty to ignore their own rules'. We have to ask though - is it certain that being from Hamburg he was definitely not Sephardic?

Subsequently we have updated B.3 in that critique - Solomon the grandson of Leah Gabay Letob (see ref 294) was probably a product of Jeremiah's 2nd marriage (to Sarah Gabay Letob); the missing son named Solomon from Jeremiah's 1st marriage probably died young.

325. A 1976 paper on the Jews of the Colonial New Brunswick area is uploaded here. The paper errs in equating Kitty the daughter of Aaron #53 with Catherine Pollack - for it was the latter person who married Isaac Abrahams as can be see from Stern's Abraham tree in ref 324. It may also err on the Codrington property purchase - for it has been pointed out that Aaron #53 bought a subdivided 300 acre piece of the former Codrington property (via Phillip French and Joseph Reade) in 1743 - see https://campbellgenealogynotes.wordpress.com/tag/alexander-campbell-bound-brook/, and was not a party to the original larger original Codrington purchase. In addition, its suggestion that Aaron's daughter Catherine died at Bound Brook as an adult leaving a husband behind is at odds with her marriage in 1779 to Abraham Loxley (see ref 324), and also at odds with Blume Michael being a very young bride who did not produce a 2nd daughter ie Catherine until the mid-1750s.

326. 'Wills of Early New York Jews' AJHS 1967 pp59-61 and also p65 under the will of Samuel Myers Cohen who in his 2nd marriage married Rachel a daughter of Moses Michael. Ref 113 pp261-5 is cited which explains the link between the NY copy of the will and other copies. It is concluded there that Moses Michael spent 23 years in Curacao ending with his 1740 death there and was a major importer especially of flour from NY which is where his family was and his official residence. He had business dealings (litigation arose in 1713 ) with Nathan Simson, whose name appears as a business partner of Aaron Louzada in ref 329.

342. Ulrike May 'FOURTEEN HUNDRED HOURS OF ANALYSIS WITH FREUD: VIKTOR VON DIRSZTAY: A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH' in Psychoanalysis and History 13(1) 2011: 91–137. Translated by Michael Molnar who notes that this article was originally published as 'Vierzehnhundert Stunden Analyse bei Freud: Viktor von Dirsztay. Eine biographische Skizze' Luzifer-Amor 23(45) 2010: 21–69. On the basis of mostly unpublished sources, the author reconstructs the life of the Hungarian writer Viktor von Dirsztay (1884?–1935) who was personally acquainted with many expressionist artists and writers, e.g. with Karl Kraus, Oskar Kokoschka, Herwarth Walden, Walter Hasenclever, Hermann Broch and Arthur Schnitzler. This association puts Freud into closer proximity with the cultural avant-garde of his times than previously realized. Between 1910 and 1920 Dirsztay underwent several phases of analysis with Freud; then he was treated by Theodor Reik. The overall length of his analysis with Freud is almost unparalleled. The article discusses whether and in which way Dirsztay’s writings might have been influenced by his analyses and how Freud and Reik might have drawn upon their experiences with this patient. It is argued that likely references can be discovered in both authors’ theories of masochism. There is an intriguing late remark of Dirsztay’s that he was ‘ruined by analysis’. A photograph of the subject is extracted and shown here, but we note that the author makes mention only of one wife Klara Unreich, and not the earlier wife discussed here.

He was the son of Robert Barrow, a civil servant living in St Vincent, probably born on 23 July 1836 in St Philip, Barbados'. She added that Robert Barrow lived in St Philip and was born to a single parent who was probably born into slavery, and that the Reverend’s mother was a Vincentian, Frances Adams, but who may have been of Barbadian descent and that unless Errol’s descent was via Frances Adams, she doubted the connection. On 26 Jul 2018 geni.com gave the lifespan of Frances Adams as 1854-1926.

363. An 1890 letter from Sophie Hortense Luzadder to Benjamin True Leuzarder suggests that Aaron #1226 - the source of the Midwest Lousadas - was a wealthy Huguenot refugee from Alsace Lorraine, though there was a family belief in its Jewishness. The obituary of Benjamin True Leuzarder appears to show the Huguenot theme being adopted.

364. Alejandro Garcia-Monton 'The Cost of the Asiento: Private Merchants, Royal Monopoly' in 'Mechanisms of Global Empire-Building' eds Amelia Polonia and Catia Antunes CITCEM and Edicoes Afrontamento Porto 2020 from which the following extract was taken: 'Through the allocation of licenses, the Crown determined how many players could participate in slave trade markets. Generally, the Crown fostered the limited participation of multiple players by granting several charters (1513-1517, 1533-1640, 1651-1662, 1751--1764, and 1780 onwards). Some merchants managed to expel competitors by obtaining monopoly charters (1663-1750, 1765-1779) but the fact that only one player was entitled to enter the official markets does not mean that this was the case in effect, owing to the occasional possibility of selling and/or splitting the trading privileges (1518-1532). This is the case of the Flemish Lorenzo de Gauvenot, who sold to different Genoese traders the 4,000 licenses that he had been awarded in 1518. Some terminological confusion has also contributed to blur the picture around the number of actors involved in the trade at any given time. Whereas the term asiento is nowadays frequently understood as synonym of monopoly, contemporaries used it as an agreement between parties, normally referring to large contracts. The expression estanco was the normal word for monopoly. This distinction is of the utmost importance, because while some asientos were certainly estancos others were not. Equally important is to determine exactly what was placed under these monopolistic administrations. For example, the asientos signed by Portuguese firms between 1595 and 1640 were a concession to market licenses. Even if the asentistas, instead of selling the licenses at their disposal, used them to take slaves to America themselves, the Crown did not lose the right to issue as many of them as it pleased, which prevented these asentistas from taking advantage of any monopolistic position. For example, in 1629, during the asiento of Rodríguez Lamego (1623-1631), Philip IV granted his brother the cardenal-infante Ferdinand 1,500 licenses to import slaves to the River Plate. These permissions were resold to the Genoese Nicolò Salvago.

365. In an extract from Fernando's literature survey, Belinchon appears to be suggesting that Beatriz Fernandes Gomez (Pereira's 1st wife) and Catalina Rodrigues de Madrid (Montezinos' 1st wife) were sisters but no support is given. There are however other possibilities for a Montezinos/Pereira marriage link - for example Geronimo Rodrigues del Cano of Madrid (see ref 145 p9) was a possible relative of Catalina Rodrigues de Madrid (Geronimo did business with Catalina's brothers Francisco and Antonio - see ref 142 p380; also ref 145 p9), and was the possible maternal grandfather of Thomas Rodrigues Pereira (that is, he may have been the source of the Geronima name of Pereira's mother and hence perhaps was Geronimo #1792). According to ref 142 p356, the prosperous Rodrigues del Cano family of Ciudad Rodrigo was part of the circle of Juan Nunes Saravia and stemmed from Gaspar Rodríguez de los Reyes and Ana Rodríguez del Caño, a married couple of Portuguese New Christians who started a prolific family that adopted the surname of the mother and who controlled important economic activity in Salamanca from where some of its members went to the Court. We have found no trace of this family's origin in Portugal, and thus how a link with Villaflor may have arisen - though of course Ciudad Rodrigo lies between Salamanca and the Portuguese border, and is equally close to the Douro as Villaflor (but on opposite sides). Thomas' father Antonio may have lived in Madrid around 1610 (ref 145 p11), probably with Thomas' mother Beatriz, before returning to Villaflor which is where they were when their son Thomas married in Madrid in 1628. In any event, travel back and forth between Villaflor and Madrid was probably not uncommon for merchants as shown by the list of financial instruments in ref 145 p12 which shows transactions with Portuguese merchants from towns throughout Portugal and Spain including Villaflor; a likely route between Villaflor and Madrid would have been via Ciudad Rodrigo and Salamanca and this travel perhaps is how Antonio Rodrigues Pereira met Beatriz Geronima in the 1600-5 period. For another possible marriage link between Montezinos and Pereira see ref 372.

366. The Toledo Inquisition record is here. It will be seen that the cause was a tax lawsuit of Lope Rodríguez Pereira, general administrator of the tobacco Income of Seville against the prosecutor of the Court of the Inquisition of Zaragoza, as being creditor of seized goods of Pedro López Gómez, prisoner in that Inquisition (cause suspended). Our distant relative Michael Waas found this record.

367. Leonor and Serafina de Almeida were the wives of Fernando Montezinos and Julian Henriques (ref 145 p10). In ref 153 Fernando Gonzalez del Campo Roman comes down in favour of Serafina being the wife of Fernando, and this is supported by the apparently authoritative description of the 1628 wedding given here translated here. Conclusive proof that Serafina was the wife of Fernando may be found in ref 368. We have no proof that Leonor and Serafina were sisters, and thus that Leonor was also the daughter of Manuel de Almeida - perhaps she was a daughter of Sebastian or Francisco de Almeida the former of whom was connected to the salt revenues (ref 145 p11), but the inference from ref 145 p10 (that Leonor and Serafina were sisters) seems quite plausible.

368. In https://archief.amsterdam/inventarissen/scans/5075/126.1.80/start/20/limit/10/highlight/2 may be found a record of a 1701 deed in which Abraham Isaac Pereira and Sarah Pereira are granted certain rights under the estate of Fernando Montezinos and Serafina de Almeida by David Arari their son. A relevant extract may be found here.

370. A 1717 deposition which appears to have been created to facilitate the travel to New York from London of Aaron #53 and Moses #54 is uploaded here. Bob Leuzarder advised on 5 Jul 2022 when he forwarded the document that it came from Donald Arleigh Sinclair, the Curator of Special Collections at the Rutgers University Library in New Jersey.

371. Tony Pawlin 'The Falmouth Packets: 1689-1851' Truran, Penryn 2003. Here it is recorded (pp29-30) that in 1694, before the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-14, Edmund or Edward Drummer Surveyor-General to the Royal Navy established a Falmouth-Corunna service with 2 packet boats Spanish Allyance and Spanish Expedition. When the war with Spain started these boats were renamed and used for a Falmouth-Lisbon service.

372. From ref 367 we observed that Fernando Montezinos appears to have been a brother-in-law of Julian Henriques. In turn, Julian Henriques appears to have been an associate (ref 201) of Lope Rodrigues Pereira (ref 366). Were we able to prove that Julian Henriques was a member of the Henriques Faro family, this would reveal a further marriage link between Montezinos and Pereira. For though Abraham Israel Pereira himself did not marry a Henriques Faro until his 2nd marriage, Abraham's brother Isaac appears to have married a Henriques Faro wife in his 1st marriage (see our work here). These wives were possibly daughters of Julian Henriques or perhaps a sibling, which would have made Montezinos an uncle by marriage of Abraham Israel Pereira from the date of (the Henriques Faro) marriage of Isaac Israel Pereira!

381. Jonathan Israel 'Spinoza: Life and Legacy' OUP 2023 provides inter alia an encyclopaedic context for the life and times of Baruch Spinoza. Thus on p198 may be found in the 1652 account by Spain's envoy in The Hague reference to Abraham and Isaac Israel Pereira in Amsterdam working with an unnamed brother in the Canaries seeking to use Rouen linen for customs-free trade with Spanish colonies via the Canaries.

382. Stanley Mirvis 'The Jews of Jamaica' Yale UP 2020. Appendix IV gives a transcription of the will of Benjamin Pereira #1650, of which p211 shows a bequest to his sister Rebecca Rodrigues Lopes. No reference to Rebecca Correa is made, though she is variously a sister and a niece in 2 other transcriptions which we label as PP and AP! In both PP and AP Rebecca Correa and Menasseh Correa receive 25 and 10 pounds respectively. Menasseh Correa is described as a nephew in both PP and AP, but PP and AP differently describe Rebecca Correa as a sister and a niece respectively. One of these is in error, probably the one describing her as a niece, for then she would have received the same bequest as the nephew! PP does not refer to the other Rebecca (Rodrigues Lopes), which AP and Mirvis both do as a sister. PP thus avoids having to explain the existence of 2 sister Rebeccas by omitting one of them; Mirvis achieves this similarly - in his case by omission of the other sister Rebecca (and Menasseh Correa); while AP achieves this by describing Rebecca Correa as a niece not a sister! There are of course good reasons why there may be 2 sisters with the same name (eg one may be a step-daughter).
