Juanita,
This comes from the family's history, and for most part, from the history of Tessaloniki jewish community. Also from some books I found here in France, about Sephardic history.
The most difficult part of it lies in the times before their arrival in Thessaloniki, around 1620. Their Toledan origin is most likely, although not 100% sure. Their Castillan origin is about 99% certain... I'm investigating further sources, and when I'll have more consistent information, I'll let you know.
Best
