Ms. Lesser, You might want to look at a book by H.J.Zimmels entitled: "Ashkenazim and Sephardim: Their relations, differences, and problems as reflected in the Rabbinical Responsa." The book goes far beyond the responsa to discuss language, statistics, and customs distinguishing the two groups of Jews. It is still available from Sephardic House books at: http://search.cartserver.com/search/search.cgi?cartid=p-2981&category=store&maxhits=20&keywords=Zimmels&go=GO%21 I hope that this is of assistance.
