I think Rafael Nones Gil was Puertorican. He has the same birth date as the Puertorican man (May 3rd, even though someone erroneously transcribed it as May 13th), and one family tree connects the two men, but it’s by a distant relative, so I’m not sure if they know for sure it’s the same guy, or they’re just assuming like I am.

Nones Isaacson’s parents were from France and England, but looking at the names in the family tree, I’m 99% sure they were Jewish (Sephardi and Ashkenazi).
