Always a pleasure to find these interesting doors to open. The whole eastern Med was an active region of trade and all kinds of exchanges. According to 23&Me, though my ancestry is mostly Italian, there is a significant % of Levantine in me!
Thanks! And that is quite interesting, about the family history. Indeed, one of the strengths of the LHF archivesis their extensive genealogical studies. I've never gotten into that side of history, but there is a lot of fascinating inter-relations among a lot of ostensibly non-related groups within communities like the Levantines.
