==================================================== In 2007 I came across a news item about Gerry Jutsun, a Canadian film-maker whose grandmother was “Spanish, and half Goan”. I wrote to him and he revealed that his mother is Hillary Cordeiro (ex-Karachi) and his paternal grandmother was a D'Abreu and the daughter of Cincinatus D’Abreu also ex-Karachi. For a photo of him and more links see Goan Voice 2007-38, issue of 20 Sept. 2007 at http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/newsletter/2007/Sep/issue3/ Canada: Gerry Jutsun: Launch of Film Studio 13 Sep. 2007: Marketwire. … Gerry Jutsun is the founder of a new independent film and entertainment studio, Jutsun Media Group or JMG … Justun was born in London, England, his father Leslie is half British with his grandmother being Spanish, and half Goan … his mother Hilary, who is also Goan, worked as a stock investment portfolio manager while ironically playing classical piano, singing and practicing jazz and tap dance … The latest work of Gerry’s studio is sure to be a blockbuster, a full length feature film recounting the historic meeting between Elvis Presley and the Beatles … Visit www.jutsunmediagroup.com for more information … For full text of the article, 2374 words, see http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=769496 For a brief bio of him see http://www.intrikateevents.com/events/bachelorauction2006/entrants.php?b=M&e=33 Eddie Fernandes * * * In every way, the Goans of Bombay were part of the great melee that was this metropolis, distinct perhaps in the way communities often are, holding on to their own traditions but merging slowly nonetheless and forming the thin thread of nationhood that would eventually become India. -- Selma Carvalho, in *Into the Goan Diaspora Wilderness*.
