Show us your roots!
#47
RE: Show us your roots!
Either sides of my family are from the north of Portugal. My last name refers to a tree, which is reminiscent of the time when Jews had to convert to Christianity, or leave the country... Those old Jews adopted Portuguese names, but didn't want any of the old names, so they got some inspiration from nature. There are several such nature-based last names... And some are among the most common in Portugal, now... Like mine... So it's not really traceable... North of Portugal is the best I can do.
