Comments That We Have Received

We have been receiving several comments regarding our symposium. Below are a few. We'd love to hear more feedback from our online visitors.



"What an exciting conference! I'm looking forward to attending all of these sessions."

"At age 70 I am wanting to settle my curiosity about my mother's family and the Jewish faith. She seemed to have a deep rooted facination with the Jewish faith that I've been curious about since learning of a gathering of Crypto Jews in San Antonio several years ago. Many of the little Jewish traditions I read about were practiced in our family - possibly nothing more than traditions from our German heritage. My mother's family migrated to Texas in the early 1800s, her mother and father spoke their native language until their deaths in the nineteen fifties. I could barely understand them and couldn't talk to them about their heritage. We, as a family, were looked down upon because of our heritage during my childhood in the forties because of Hitler. It was a very hard time, so much so that I'm just beginning to wonder about my family roots."

"Simply thanks for hosting this symposium, the stories need to be told."

"...I am a descendant of Crypto_Jews; maternal &paternal. I have written several articles that have been published....Planning to devote time researching the Texas Borderlands for the remnants of the Crypto-Jews that came to the North of Mexico after the Mex Inquisition. Zaragosa, Coahuila and Del Rio and communities in between have several families that claim their Jewish ancestary and I want to conduct verbal research. I am very acquainted with Stanley Hordes. He is my mentor!"

"I have written and lectured about the life of Luis de Carvajal, el mozo, and family for the last 15 years. I am interested in attending all lectures. Many thanks. "

"This topic is of great interest to me. Let me know of future conferences..."

"This is a wonderful opportunity. I'm very pleasantly surprised that Texas A&M has taken the lead in this very important subject. The dates are a bit of a challenge because it is right before Passover. However, I'm very much looking forward"

I would like to hear from the writer of the comment ""I have written and lectured about the life of Luis de Carvajal, el mozo, and family for the last 15 years." I am looking forward to hearing what has been said about El Mozo. My family traces themselves back to the Carvajal family but I wonder how that could be given the circumstances of their lives. this is a mystery to me.

I will attempt to contact the author of the comment and inform him that somebody is interested in his work.

it is probably very unlikely that El Mozo had any children. It is likely that many of the surviving Jews with Carvajal connnections were the distant cousins and friends that came with the Carvajal expedition, many of whom were Jews.
