About Us

The Sephardic Diaspora Wiki was born from a simple truth: when I began searching for my own Sephardic heritage, there weren’t many places to turn. What I found was often scattered, incomplete, or hidden deep in archives. I wanted something different—something that made discovery easier, stories more visible, and our shared history impossible to overlook.

This is not just a genealogy tool. It’s a space built with the hope that you’ll wander down rabbit holes, uncovering the remarkable influence our ancestors had on the world—and how their legacy still resonates in places, cultures, and families today.

Here, you’ll find stories that may never have been heard, voices that were silenced, and names that history nearly erased. My goal is to give our ancestors what they were so often denied: visibility, praise, and acknowledgement.

The Sephardic Diaspora Wiki is for anyone curious enough to look closer—for those who feel the pull of their roots, or who simply want to understand the intertwined paths of our past.

May it be a guide, an archive, and a spark that keeps you learning.
