To help my fellow researchers I will try
to list Sephardic names that I have found to appear in several printed
sources useful to genealogists. This will take some time, so please be patient.
Hopefully this will be of value to researchers of Sephardic families. Use the
"find" feature of your browser to look for the name you are interested in.
Again suggestions are welcomed as we all try to help each other.
Donations of lists you have developed are even more welcome!
Here are some of the sources I will try to list. Click on

This is the family tree of the ARIE Sephardic family from
Samakov, Bulgaria.
