DNA Project with Caro surname
FTDNA project looking to compare DNA of Puerto Ricans whose male ancestor is from Majorca. Goal is to find the Puerto Rican descendants of the Chuetas(derogatory name for Majorcan Jews during the time of the Inquisition). Families may not know of this connection since it was illegal for Jews to settle in PR. Not until 1889 did Jews have the freedom to be open about their faith. To discern between the non/jewish Caro families, DNA results will be compared to those of Chuetas in Majorca who have a distinct genetic pattern.
