1818: Judah Descent/Genealogy Claims of Spanish and Portuguese Jews (jan 1, 1818 – jan 1, 1819)

Description:

"The Spanish and Portuguese Jews claim their descent from the tribe of Judah; and found these pretensions on a supposition that prevails among them, that many of their ancestors removed, or were sent into Spain at the time of the Babylonian captivity."
"It appears that the Jews have no accurate deduction of their descent or genealogy, they suppose that they are in general of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with some among them of the tribe of Levi."
