Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2016 3:36 PM Subject: [sephardic] Searching for ALTURA family origins in Spain I have verified that my family name of ALTURA (with several variations such as Altarass) originated in Spain, in a way confirming family legend. I have traced my family via Vienna, Austria, to Brody, Galicia to around 1850. I don't know where to go >from here. There are ALTURAs all over the world - especially in Spanish speaking countries, >from Brazil to the Philippines. I would like some advice as to how to begin searching in Spain. I have utilized Ancestry.com and Jewishgen.org databases to no avail. Thank you. Diane Climo - cldl@... Researching ALTURA |
