We descend from Dr Geronimo de Orozco and Beatriz Tello de Lomas (Sandoval). I cam across an interesting article called Jewish Presence in Los Altos de Jalisco. You can read it here:

It names the Tello de Orozco clan (among many others) and implicitly refers to them as though they would have been of Jewish descent. Does anyone have any documentation or family history that would corroborate this statement? The whole point of being a Crypto was not to get caught, so finding books or documents that would verify the Jewish descent of the progenitors or there immediate succeeding generations has proved somewhat difficult.

I am confident we receive (at least in part) our Jewish heritage from families just like this one…

Thanks
