Reis de Portugal: D. Manuel II, by Maria Cândida Proença, published by Círculo de Leitores e Centro de Estudos dos Povos e Culturas de Expressão Portuguesas, Temas e Debates, Rio de Moura: 2008. I am sure you can order it from Livraria Bertrand. You can go on line for the web page. The book is entirely in Portuguese, and is illustrated and has some royal pedigrees in the appendix. Good luck, John Miranda Raposo

I have Bensabat and Amzalac in my Ancestry. I found my info in Abaccasas' (spelled wrong) volumes I borrowed from libraries. My ancestors were also Moroccan Jews who moved to Terceira. I'm assuming the book you read is in Portuguese? (I only sat in a Portuguese class in college for one semester.) What is the name of the book and how do I find it? I was thrilled to read your email to the group! - Shirl - For those with Moroccan-Jewish roots in the Azores: > > >I recently finished reading a biography of King Manuel II, Portugal`s last >king.
