Well Done. I didn't mean to imply that we were Jews, full blooded and practicing, but the Jewish presence ws strong in Spain. I think your statements about conversos or a woman marrying into the family are right on the money. Alvaro I am sure is visigothic. The visigoths were the dominant group in Spain at the time of the Moorish invasion. This is excellent.
