Celine Amoyal’s Family Tree

Celine’s ancestry is a blend of European and North African heritage.  Born in Paris, her forebears came from France (maternal) and from Algeria and Morocco (paternal).  In France, Celine’s maternal forebears lived in the Lorraine region for generations.  Political instability and warfare saw some of her paternal forebears moving between Algeria and Morocco during the 19th Century.  In all likelihood their ancestors originally lived in Spain until the expulsion of Jews by Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492.  More than 30,000 of the estimated 235,000 Jewish people in Spain at that time fled to Morocco and Algeria where they established vibrant communities that continue to this day.
