Description
We are researching the ALFASSA (also, ALFASA, ALFASSO, ALFASSI) families from Turkey, Greece and the Balkans. A large group of Sephardic ALFASSA families came from Edirne (Adrianople), but also Istanbul.
There are branches of ALFASSA families in Turkey, Israel, Great Britain, and in the United States.
In the U.S. there are different "branches" of the ALFASSA family. I have seperated them into the following groups: CHICAGO ALFASSA's, NEW YORK ALFASSA's, SOUTH FLORIDA ALFASSA's. These threee groups do not have a common ancestor that has been found yet. The South Florida ALFASSA's were originally the CRESPIN family from Turkey.
