Moved from article due to improper formating: 84.228.171.185: "The portuguese Capitão Barros Basto was a Marrano, not Ashkenazi, & he didn't find the Belmonte Crypto-Jews. These were discovered [1917] by the Ashkenazi egineer from Poland Samuel Schwartz, who wrote a book about them [1925; 2nd edition 1993, translated into Hebrew: Sept. 2005]. Most of this group [about 85/~120(±10)] converted into Normative-Judaism [1992-3], after creating conventional community-institutions. Nowadays they practice Jewish marriges, Brith-Mila & other Jewise rites, pray in Hebrew, have a synagogue etc. For recent information in Hebrew [1994-2000] see <www.mybelmonte.com> written by me: Dr. Sara Molho, a Israeli sociologist, who used to visit there & lived with them a while."
