Searching for information on "le Juif Elie", thought to be a French Jew
by some; a Polish Jew by others. He lived in the Jewish section of
Saintonge, France about 1558. Religious registers show his name under
the primitive form of JUIELLINEAU or JULLINEAU. It is said that his true
name was "JUIF ELINO" but he found it wise to modify his mame to JULINOS
and then to GELINOS (GELINAS) because of political dissension and
religious wars. Families with the name of JULLINEAU, GELINAUD and
GELINEAU still live in France. Jean GELINAS who married Francoise
CHARMESNIL ou GERMENI (ct17-10-1667 LaTouche, Cape-de-la-Madeleine, PQ -
Jette) was his GGGrandson.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Eugenie
