Aaron Camhi -m. Rivka [??] This couple were married in Monastir. We know about three of their children: Sunchu, Esther, Shabetay. Sunchu/Simba/Sophie Camhi -m. Joseph Pardo Joseph Pardo was a son of Jacobo Pardo and Miriam Mayo.. Joseph and Sophie had seven children: Jack (b'Joseph) Pardo Jack is buried in the Monastirli section of the Mt Carmel Cemetery in Queens, NY, USA. Becky Pardo -m. Meir (Mario) Pardo Mayo Becky married her uncle Meir—her father's younger brother. Mario Pardo was a son of Jacobo Pardo and Miriam Mayo.. Becky and Mario were married December 1932, and had three children. According to the practice in most Spanish-speaking countries, since Mario's mother's maiden name was Mayo, he was addressed as Mario Pardo Mayo, and his family is known as the Pardo Mayo family. Miriam Pardo Alicia Pardo -m. Salomon Raphael (Rafael) Alicia and Salomon were married 03/21/53 in Mex DF (Mexico City), and had three children. Some members of this family use the "ph" spelling, and others use the "f". Eliezer Raphael - m. [??] Mario Raphael Leon Rafael Esther Raphael Jacqueline Raphael Isaac Pardo Miriam/Mary Pardo -m.

[???] [daughter] Rachel Pardo Esther Camhi -m. [??] Camhi Boulissa Camhi -m. Ben-Sion Camhi (known as Izhak in the US). This couple was married in Monastir, and emigrated with their whole family, except for Esther, who stayed behind, and was apparently a victim of the destroyers in the Holocaust. My grandmother lived at 66 Rivington St, 2 in from the corner of Rivington and Allen. There was a candy/drug store across the street there and my dad used to buy cigars there, and they had a bunsen-type burner always lit to help the customers light their cigars. Next door a few down was a sephardic grocery store where they had barrels of olives, queso blanco, lacerda, and prepared borecas for sale, plus other goodies. On the same side of the street of my grandmother's house was a pool hall. As a kid I used to sneak in and mingle with the older guys. Also on that side of the street a few doors down, if my memory serves me well, was a Streit's matzo factory. Down a few blocks on Allen in the direction of the bridge there was also a club for men. And my mother would ask me to go there and tell my father when it was time to leave for Brooklyn, and I used to walk up the stairs, room filled with cigar smoke, and the men played pinochle there also, my dad would order me a yogurt (yogut) before I left there. That was a vivid memory. Recollections contributed by Irving Camhi Max Camhi Albert Camhi Haim Camhi -m. Bienvenida Uziel (Oziel) Haim was born in Monastir in 1896.
