My maternal grandmother was a Franco. Her grandfather was a spaniard, who enjoeyd being called Papai Franco (Padrecito) and got to Brazil with his brothers around 1840,to a city in the North coast of Rio de Janeiro named Macaé. Perhaps they originally came from Galicia, but I am still having trouble to get my g-grandfatherīs birthcertificate.
Besides always tellling me all the Francos are cousins, a my grandmother always told me we were related with Francisco Franco, the dictator, what I found very weird. i never understood what she liked about him. But then I only recently found out Franco helped out the Jewish people from Spain to escape Holocaust, and that he was of Sephardic origin himself. Have any of you heard the same history in your households?
What I would like to check, however, is if all Francos from Spain are regarded as either Sephardic or new-christians as someone already mentioned here. I got some clues that my Francos were conversos. For now, thatīs all the information I can provide.
Thank you
