The Franco’s are one of twelve families that are Sephardic Jews. Our lineage takes us back so far in time as Cristóbal which is literally, Christian Jews. However, the Sephs are regarded as True Jews or Jewels. Jesus of Nazareth was the same thing, a Christian Jew. My family, the Franco’s was known as the most persecuted of the Inquisition victims and our name began as Cabal in the 11th Century. When a name is Cabal it's a social relationship to the covenant and the name was created in forbearance. We held a covenant that allowed all who believed in one Supreme Being the protection of the Monarchs. Many families were hidden Jews but now it's become vogue to come out with this information. Both sides of my family were Cabal. The name Franco relates to the French speaking but covers Portugal and Spain. Francisco Franco, the Spanish general whose armies took control of Spain in 1939 and who ruled as a dictator until his death was part of this lineage. A second dictator that is well known that is part of this same lineage is Fidel Castro of Cuba. However, they are the only two known dictators in our line. So far.
