History

Famille attestée par 2 sépultures relevées dans le cimetière juif d'Essaouira (2). 1 de ces stèles porte une date, celle de 1924. Le nom est gravé מסעודה sur les pierres. Les prénoms relevés sont Chalom et Bat Shlomo. Cette notice est établie sur le seul relevé des sépultures (Yahasra) : elle ne dit ni l'origine de la famille, ni sa filiation, ni sa parenté éventuelle avec les familles de graphie voisine — un relevé de cimetière n'en sait rien.
