I began my ancestral research journey a couple of years ago. I started to believe that we had Jewish ancestors. No one in my family believed me! Now I can send them this video so they can finally start to believe it. My family was from Sao Miguel (maternal side) and Faial (paternal side). So cool, thank you for your research!
I was born and raised in Hawaiʻi, and I am a descendant of Crypto-Jews from Sao Miguel in the Azores and Santana in Madeira. Our main family names are: Oliveira, DaCosta, Lindo, Joseph and Santana. There are many of us who trace our families back to Sephardim in the Azores in Hawaiʻi.
@@jamesault7832 We may be related. Do you have family that immigrated to Hawaiʻi? I can trace back with specific names back to my 5th great grandparents on the Lindo side of my family and 4th great grandparents on the Oliveira side.
@@SephardicHawaiian Thanks for your offer to help with my family research but I don’t know of any Hawaiian connections. My 5th great grandfather was born in 1776 Pedro Migel, Faial da Terra, Azores and immigrated to Floyd Kentucky. So far I have been able to trace ancestors as far as Melchior Goncalves 1604 Portugal.
I am jewish ✡️ Madeiran my family became catholics. Family surnames da Silva de Sousa, De Castro. Belmont. Madeira has many jewish people living in Madeira now and in the past.
There is still today a Jewish cemetery in Terceira island ,Azores,called Campo de Igualdade.1832 at the foot of Monte Brasil (Caminho Novo)in Angra do Heroísmo.
I watched something years ago that said the Jews fled Yisrael to Madeira, they were the original people of Madeira and that most Maderians are from the tribe of Juda.
My DNA tests revealed I'm 14.10 Sephardic Jewish, my family were conversos from Judaism to Christianity. I'm from the Iberian Peninsula as my ancestors shows they were exiled and lived in Maderira. My last name is "Faria" on the Jewish Geanology list of conversos names. Still trying to find my anchestral names.
Not true Israel is the firstborn of the nation, the only people Elohim has chosen for himself Thats why we were persecuted and envied by all the nations until today. So simple 😮
Most Portuguese in Portugal or the Azores have a small admixture of Jewish DNA. I'm certain this is also true for Spain, as it is for most other European nations. The reality is that neither religion, nationality, nor the color of one's skin are what determines our humanity. We were created as one by one maker. All the differences we imagine or think we see are figments of our imagination, illusions. Illusions are the products of our desire to be different and better than our brothers. The desire to be different results in alienation from our maker, who created us in his spiritual image and like himself in all ways. The desire to be separate and different from our maker and our brothers is the cause of all the world's atrocities and turmoil. It includes our mental and physical violence against ourselves and each other. The issue man has always faced is confusing who he is with the needs of the body. He does all he can to satisfy its unending greed, hunger and lust. His real need is and will always be for spiritual connection. A spiritual connection with the divine must be made first. Once we recognize ourselves as one spirit, one mind, the key to re-establishing God's Kingdom on our planet will be found.

@@dancing4adonai221 Unfortunately none of our brothers are immune from both persecuting and being persecuted. It's a curse we've placed on ourselves, choosing to see ourselves as more or less than others. Human hubris, insanity and illusions are the creation of human minds disconnected from their source.

This is an amazing story, most interesting. Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Madeira is a beautiful island with much jewish history.
Very interesting, especially the ties to the Holy Ghost festivals…

Great Job. I was born in Madeira.
My surname /Arruda is of Sephardic origins. My grandfather was born in 1884 on S. Miguel.
I watched something years ago that said the Jews fled Yisrael to Madeira, they were the original people of Madeira and that most Maderians are from the tribe of Juda.
Gove me some link ...Its sounds like pile of crap
@@jerryczech953thats where you are totally wrong!
This is totally correct and was prophesied as such thousands of years ago
@@tonyfernandes6978 could be .most of the sailors with Columbus were Jews fleeing Spain in 1492

Stop feeling guilty for being part of the chosen people
This is what Elohim said himself
