Comment on The Camondo Family by P. NAHON

The name of my second great grandmother’s mother was Louise Camondo. She lived in Istanbul. I have not been able to determinate the link between her and the Comtes de Camondo.
Research should be done on these Camondo which are not on the family trees usually seen in books and Internet…

Comment on A Russian demographic catastrophe by Eero

The Minstry of Defence in Finland published 2008 a study called Russia of Challenges. Related to your post, here is an interesting detail from that study (page 49).

“Paul Goble, an expert of Islam and the Muslim population in Russia, estimates that the majority of Russian military recruits will be Muslims in 2015. In 2020 twenty per cent of the citizens will be Muslims, provided that the current demographic trends continue. If no changes occur, within three decades the majority of the citizens of the Russian Federation will be Muslims”.

This great diva, Carmen Miranda, will always remain in our hearts; she’ll always be remembered as “a Pequena Notável” with her beautiful and lovely smile.
Here in Portugal we also have a Carmen Miranda Museum that is very worthwhile to visit: it has some interesting items!
As a Painter and Plastic Artist I could not standby upon her 100th birthday celebration, even more, because she was born in a town near mine. So I decided to pay her a tribute by doing an exhibition.
You can check my blog for more information regarding my tribute to Carmen Miranda. I hope you enjoy it!

I recommend you check with the Musee Nissim de Camondo in Paris. It’s a museum housed in their lovely home in rue Monceau, in the 8eme, and dedicated to Nissim, their son who died in the War. You may call them on +33 1 53 89 06 50 and might be able to get better leads from them. If someone would know about that, it would surely be the people curating the Musee or leads they might give you. Best of luck!

Comment on The Camondo Family by Cristian Nistor

Hello!

My name is Horia-Cristian Nistor and I come from Romania.
One of my relatives might have had Jewish origins.

My great grandmother was called Amalia Camondo. She came alone from Vienna (Austria) to the northern part of Romania in the 1870s, where she married my great grandfather. She was around 25 then. She is buried here (died in the 1920s).

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any other details regarding the case.
I wish to know whether she had Spanish or Portuguese descendance, because the Camondo family were Sefardi Jews expelled from the Iberic Peninsula in 1492.

It’s just that Amalia doesn’t appear on any list of the Camondo family members.
Could somebody help me in that?

Thank you!
