I am sure it will be very well received and hopefully a good example to all who are interested in Sephardic family history in the Caribbean basin. We are proud to be part of your family. Please keep up the good work.

10/19/2007: Ron Gomes Casseres: WOW ! I just picked up my two CDs and did a quick scan of the GC one … truly amazing. My respect and admiration to you ! I cannot help but think of my father and how much he would have enjoyed going through the hundreds of pages of true treasures. This will take quite some time for me to go through, but I can see already that it is a marvelous life’s work and grateful that you are sharing it with us. Hopi danki !

11/7/2007 Lila Myers: I spent a magical evening going through at least part of my very own "tree". Sandy, you did a magnificent job. Of course I have seen over the years how much time, trouble, travel etc. you put into this effort and how you made sure that your information was correct. It was a gargantuan task and I congratulate you on the results. Not only did I find out who or where the de Marchenas were, but you followed up every side branch which I never even knew existed. This is a wonderful addition to our knowledge and I recommend it strongly to every descendant or near descendant of those people who took a deep breath and settled in virtually unknown places like Curacao, Panama, Cuba and wherever they went. And for the most part made a success of it. Good for you my friend. You really did it. Lila (Nieuwenhuijzen de Marchena) Myers.

11/11/2007 Michele Russel-Capriles: I finally had time today to really study the family tree of the Capriles family. I can only image how the others are as well, incredible work you have done! Kudos.

11/12/2007 Ena Dankmeijer: Hallo Sandy, Congratulations, you did a terrific job!!!!!  ....Again I have big admiration for you, I could not have done it. Masha masha danki for the work you have done for our future generation.
