"Pereira" is Jewish?!?!? NOT AGAIN!!! LOLOLOL No, not all the moorish were/are browned eyes! Please remember that the moors were expelled from Portugal in the 15th century. You'll only find some descendants that turned to the Christian religion and mingled during the last 5 centuries with the other Portuguese. And as the Portuguese also descend from LOTS of Germanic peoples (Alanii, Suevii, Goths/Visigoths, etc.) there are lots of Portuguese with blue eyes - me and ALL my family from my mother's side, for instance. Luis K W Lisboa-Portugal ---------------------- MENSAGEM ORIGINAL ---------------------- Hi List, I had a question. Now some one mentioned that the Pereira is Jewish or Moorish. How would I find out from what I already know. Manuel Pereira, 1844, father Francisco Pereira and mother Maria Candida De Jesus. What I was told that those from Pereira were blue eyed. Also Manuel's wife Maria D'Encarancao - Father Antonio D' Abreu and Mother Jesuina Rosa were also Blue eyed. My question is ..... weren't most moorish and Portuguese browned eyed? Also, how would one be a part of this DNA research? Al
