1) Lea-Hanna VAZ DIAS, birth 13 Jun 1834 Den Haag, Nederland, died 1922
Information from Rosario Mendes-Chumaceiro: Jacob and Lea were born in 1833 and 1834 respectively, not in 1852 as was stated by Carel Vas Dias. This tends to sound true as the age of Sara when marrying would have been 11.

Further information received from Harold M. Chumaceiro by email.

Married 17 Aug 1871 Amsterdam, Nederland to:
Aron MENDES CHUMACEIRO, birth 28 Jan 1810 Amsterdam, Nederland, died 18 Sep 1882 Amsterdam, Nederland
In a search in Geneanet I found under your reference one Mendes Chumaceiro in United Kingdom. From the information of Geneanet, I understand that you are studying the genealogy of Vas(z) Dias.

I have been studying the genealogy of my family the Mendes Chumaceiro family.

In my records I have registered 2 Vas Dias married to Mendes Chumaceiro as follows:

Sara Vas Dias, born in Amsterdam on February 11, 1841, died in Amsterdam on May 28, 1907. She married in Amsterdam on August 17, 1871 Aron Mendes Chumaceiro, b. in Amsterdam on January 28, 1810 and died there on September 18, 1882. They had thre e children, Benjamin Aron, Movito (still born) and Moise (also still born). Benjamin Aron was born in Amersfoort, Holland on February 9, 1873 and died in Amsterdam on May 3, 1920. He married Mindele Monas in Amsterdam on November 1, 1882.

Hara (maybe Hana) Vas Dias, daughter of Aron Jacob Vas Dias. No dates for her. She married Jacob Mendes Chumaceiro in Amsterdam on February 9, 1861. He was born on March 11, 1833 and died on February 6, 1900. He is a son of the above mentionAro n Mendes Chumaceiro in his first marriage to Abigael Lopes Cardoso.

Maybe we are investigating the same persons. I would appreciate any information you could supply me that would fill the empty spaces I have.

I hope to hear from you soon, Best regards,

Harold M. Chumaceiro

11) Lea Hanna de Aron VAZ DIAS, birth 1 Sep 1852 Amsterdam, Nederland, died 25 Mar 1922 Amsterdam, Nederland, buried 28 Mar 1922 Beth Haim, Amsterdam
There is an anomaly within the dates of this family that is not as yet clear to me. Child 11 (Lea Hanna) is reported as having a date of birth of 1852. She is reported to have married in 1861. This makes her 8 yras old at marriage. This simply ca nnot be. So we are still investigating this.

Information I have received from Rosario Mendes-Chumaceiro states: 'Jacob and Lea were born in 1833 and 1834 respectively and not as 1852 as stated by Carel Vas Dias. This tends to sound better, but for me the jury is still out.
