BERDUGO Family Tree

Description

AI Enhanced

This web page serves as a comprehensive genealogical index for the BERDUGO family tree, a prominent Sephardic Jewish family with roots tracing back to medieval Spain and Portugal. The page is part of the larger LOEB family tree website and focuses specifically on documenting the extensive lineage of the BERDUGO family, which claims Davidic ancestry—a lineage believed to connect back to the biblical King David. The site appears to be a labor of love for preserving Jewish genealogical heritage, particularly for families displaced during the Spanish Inquisition who later settled in Morocco and other North African regions. The content is meticulously organized into three main branches (A, B, and C) of the BERDUGO family tree, each containing detailed information about notable family members spanning several centuries. Key historical figures highlighted include founding patriarch Moshe BERDUGO, early leaders like Itzhak and Yosef BERDUGO, and numerous rabbinical figures such as Rabbi Mordecai BERDUGO, Grand Rabbi Salomon BERDUGO, and Rabbi Yekoutiel Haim BERDUGO. The documentation extends through multiple generations, including more contemporary family members like Serge BERDUGO, and incorporates connected families through marriage such as the SEBBAG, ASSAYAG, OHAYON, ELGRABLI, and MESSAS families, reflecting the interconnected nature of Sephardic Jewish communities. The page provides significant historical and cultural value for researchers studying Sephardic Jewish genealogy, Moroccan Jewish communities, and the diaspora following the 1492 Spanish expulsion. Geographic references to Morocco, Fez, and Meknes indicate the family's migration patterns and settlement in North Africa, which was a common refuge for expelled Spanish Jews. The site includes etymology sections and bibliography resources, suggesting serious genealogical research underlies the family tree construction. Notably, the page features hand-drawn family trees with interactive links to detailed individual profiles, making it a functional research tool rather than merely a static document. The inclusion of both Hebrew and Western names for individuals reflects the bicultural nature of Sephardic identity. Interestingly, the page concludes with seemingly unrelated content about family activities, custom t-shirts, and art crafts, which appears incongruous with the serious genealogical content and may represent either website monetization attempts or placeholder content that feels disconnected from the scholarly nature of the family tree documentation.
