What is Kasa Baruh?

Kasa Baruh shorthand for Kasa Baruh de Louzada is an archive, dynasty, and business which represents and is run by the illegitimate descendants of Emanuel Louzada. In Barbados, this family is known by its anglicization, Barrow, which was the anglicization of the Family name.

Not everyone in Barbados with this name descends from this particular lineage, as there were many other Barrows and Baruh Lousada, some Ashkenazi, and others of unknown origin.

Kasa Baruh, through Dama Jabië de Louzada sponsors, creates, archives, and produces Eurafrican Literature. La Dama is particularly concerned with Eurafrican and Iberian Jewish Nobility and its treatment, regarding the infamous tale of Alessandro de Medici as an example of how historical European Royal Families and Noble Lineages have treated their coloured relatives and claimants.

This lineage has funded the creation of the Nidhe Israel, but it has been barred from meaningful communal or religious usage due to the historic factor of race in Western Sephardic Communities.

This is the official pedigree of Dama di Louzada, who reserves an illegitimate claim to Duque de Lousada:

Maternal Pedigree and Context:

Luceta Maria King – Peter Anderson Bowen

Lance Neville King II – Merle Mary Shirley Springer

Ione Springer – Oliver Smith

Fredrick Springer – Constance Callender

Ione, born Irene, was descended from Florence Nightingale Barrow, Ione is remembered as a woman of Indian and "German" Ancestry who carried green eyes. She was a descendant of Barrows, a relative of Sir Hugh Springer, Dame Nita Barrow, and Errol Walton Barrow. All of whom are ethnically Dutch Sephardic through their Baruch Louzada descent, and likely Ashkenazi as well.

Their family held properties and had come from Spry Street, nearby the Synagogue Historic district, which was destroyed by Tom Adams, a bitter rival of Sir Errol Walton Barrow and the son of Sir Grantley Adams, who he had prior electorally humilated and thrust the nation into independence, Tom Adams destroyed the remnant of the Sephardic Ghetto to build the Central Bank of Barbados, which is led by one of the Springer-Barrows, Governor Kevin Greenidge.

Like Errol Walton Barrow, who professed his ancestor was Shimon bar Baruch of Prague, Ione might have been partially Tudesko (Ashkenazi). Perhaps for this reason her family is remembered as "German" and "Jewish", they held properties nearby the Garrison Savanah, operated Springer's Enterprises in Spry Street, and Alfred's Mall, which cannot be found.

It is believed Spry Street is named after this Springer Family, who might have descended from the family of the Colonial Administrator "William Spry".

The name Springer in Barbados might be an evolution of Spry, Spreyer, or other non standardised forms at that time which would become fixed later on in time.

Yet, that family believes themselves to be Lousadas, though in contemporary times due to anglicization and the death of elders, that has become synonymous with being a Barrow, or descended from Barrows.

Martin Luther Barrow, the Mystical Spanish Speaking Speculator father of Hesther, who travelled to Panama, but possessed the language of Spanish before then, lends testimony toward this perspective, when he told his daughter, Hesther Hewell Squires, and Doña Clothilda Squires, that he was a relative of Señor Errol Walron Barrow.

So they most likely would have descended from Shimon's second wife, or affair, with Sarah Barrow, which produced Joseph Barrow, and the "coloured boy" Richard Barrow.

It is possible that Sarah Barrow might have been a Lousada, but this has not been explicitly confirmed.

Tracing Ione and her ancestors, descendants, is exceptionally hard, likely because they existed outside of Christian record keeping, which is the only reason why the anglicized Baruch Lousadas are traceable.

Lance Neville Trehane King I – Vera Beatrice Yarde

Frederick King – Violet Trehane

The Neville Kings were sailors of the Merchant Mariner profession, Lance I in particular served in World War II and was profoundly traumatised by the war. He was a grandmaster of the freemasons, his daughter in law, Merle Mary Shirley Springer, was similarly affiliated in female sects, as was his son, Lance II.

Lance Neville I travelled under the alias "Neville King" traceable only by his wife Vera King, he is documented shipwrecked off the coast of the Bermuda triangle before World War II, he is documented in Mexico City undertaking his profession. His son inherited his alias, Neville King, which was used in political environments, he was awarded by the Democratic Labour Party for 40 years of service, under his and his father's alias, Neville King.

Neville King II visited Israel and kissed the birthplace of Yoshua bar Yosef, he wore a kippah and a light blue dress jacket which the family believed carried sentimental, or religious value to him.

He gave his daughter Luceta Maria King a Jerusalem Hebrew Bible, or Torah, with a Star of David upon it, an artefact which she lost during her troubles. His daughter would be villified by her peers, other Catholic Dutch Sephardic descendants for carrying these strange, indecipherable ornaments, further adding to the family's stigmatisation as "Witches".

This negatively affected his Daughter's relationship to her mother. Nonetheless, Neville King I was descended from a woman who had come from Portugal or descended from "The Portuguese Nation" (Naçaõ), her name was Violet Trehane. Lance's comrades and perhaps extended family would name their boat the "Viola".

It is unknown if Violet was her birthname. Whatever the case, Violet was of Portuguese Sephardic descent, either Western Sephardic or Bnei Anusim, both of which are Naçaõ.

The King family does appear adjacent to Jewish history and wills in the Anglo-Americas and Nidhe Israel's merchant class, but not directly, and no context is provided on who they are or where they came from. It is believed that "King" for these particular Kings, is likely an anglicization of another term meaning the same thing.
