The 50% approximately of this family are from Portugal a 40% from Seville or Extremadura and the other 10% are from other parts of Spain, Catalonia or other Countries. With this date we can understand why in 1629 the city of San Cristobal was call “The Hebrew city”. And these dates are only a small part of descendents of Jews was living in that city in 1629 because this dates are in the first time before the conquest 1500 approximately. Between 1500 until 1629 many other families with Jews ancestors arrived to the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna like Canizares’s family, Crespo’s family, Camejo’s family, etc.
