Cousins: De Leon Family

De Leon - relatives of the Abraham family. First cousins from Rustchuk.

This apparently means the De Leon brothers and sisters were cousins of Moritz Abraham, which means that either Mamo or Lea (nee Jacob) Abraham had a sister who married a De Leon in Rustchuk.

Three brothers: Isaac, Abraham and Henri, two sisters: Visa and Sarica.

Isaac

Isaac immigrated to Palestine. An agronomist, he studied in Montpellier in 1922 (in l'Ecole Nationale d'Agriculture) with the help of Moritz Abraham. Specialist in citrus for the Government of Palestine.

Seems he was a little younger than Moritz - so could have been the son of a younger sibling of Moritz' father or mother?

He had one son, Gaby.
