typical:
1613 de borrai (french soldier) several times,
1680 borray,(jewish version) several times,
1686 till now borra (dutch version), many times.

The name de borrai, borray and borra is not a common name in holland
or in other parts of the world. It is very rare.
Your are obcessed by the clerck ( typical us ?) and never a word about the
discrimination of Jewish people.
Lots of Jewish people in those day (after1580 alva) changed for that reason
their
name and religion but that was in europe not in the states.
This family lived for more than 400 years in the same city,
this must be very strange in the mind of an american, sorry.
I only agree with you on the point that they came from abroad before 1600.
Don't forget that the development of the us-society the last 400 years is
totally different from europe and also the development of the clercks.
You have very nice computers but the Japanese are better, lol, lol.
It costed me more than 25 years to get rid of my projections before
I could look to these things in a proper way.
After world-war two I grew up in the small village of Putten (complete
deportated
by the germans), always discriminated as a little boy by my name borra.
For that reason I am searching, wanted to know what was going on with
that name.
But I'l find out, thanks for your comments,

pieter borra
