Toribio Hernandez Arellano Sanchez
Because of the confusion of multiple people with the same name, most people have parts of the genealogy screwed up. Going by what I put together and a puzzle piece by dr. Abraham Haim, an expert on Sephardic genealogy, I have from pre 1300 in Barcelona and Avignon France to Toribio Hernandez de Arellano.
The Jewish ancestry and French ancestry that Mariano Gonzalez Leal says we don't have is this line. Most, if not all, the lines of the founding families' descendants married descendants of Toribio.
This Jewish line is not your typical Sephardic line. This line is Ashkenazic, from France.
[• There are several subgroups of Jews with different culture and traditions:
Ashkenazic: Descendants of Jews from France, Germany and Eastern Europe
Sephardic: Descendants of Jews from Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle East
Mizrachi: Descendants of Jews from North Africa and the Middle East
• Other subgroups are Yemenite, Ethiopian and Oriental

Dr Haim put the the piece that said our sanchez line descended through juan Sanchez de calayatud (Isaac Golluf) and not his brother Pedro Sanchez de Calayatud. I knew that Toribios grandfather Alonson Sanchez descended from Alazar Golluf but had originally thought that the descent was though his son Pedro. Dr Haim is the highest authority on these matters so if he says that he descends from Isaac Golluf (Juan Sanchez) then I will go along with him.
Most people also confuse Toribio's grandfather, Alfonso Sanchez(II) with his uncle, Alfonso (1) that was the one that left Aragon, went to Italy, and was burned in effigy.
Here goes, hold on tight.
Two lines from Toribio, the first to my wife's maternal grandfather.
The second line is to

The house of David, the same house as Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
1). Nahir Suxen (abt. 1295) is the father of Bonastruga (Bona Astruga)
1). Solomon Golluf (caballero, resident of Barcelona) (abt 1295).
2). ↑ Samuel Golluf (resident of Avignon) married to ↑Bonastruga and are the parents of two children,
Siblings : Azach (Acaqui) Golluf & Rebeca Golluf (her fame: beauty and can sing)
3). ↑ Azach (Acaqui) Golluf and his wife Oro (daughter of Azach (Ishaq) Xaprut)
Azach Xaprut is the son of Yosef Xaprut, (one source claims that Joseph Amali is Oro's father and that her name is Oro Amali but I have a evidence that explains why I believe this is a mistake. Oro Xaprut should not be confused with other members of the family named Oro or Orosol.
4) ↑Alazar (Alatzar) Golluf Iben David miembro de una ilustre y antigua familia de Zaragoza (d. 1389).
Cousin to Todric Ha Levi family, all descendants of the house of David
Alazar Golluf, miembro de una ilustre y antigua familia de Zaragoza, fue tesorero del rey don Juan I de Aragón y de su esposa Violante. Su alta posición le permitió ocuparse de los asuntos de la población judía incluso fuera de los límites de la aljama donde habitaba. De la casa de David. I don't know if the descent from david is through a paternal or maternal line.
Alcazar Golluf is Treasurer of the Queen Violante of Aragon and the most prominent Jewish courtier at the time in Aragon.
Tom Tov ben Hannah (Abenhanya), a scribe of the Jewish community of Montalban wrote a description of Alazr Golluf's death as a tragedy for all Aragonese Jews. In his letter he wonders who will defend the Jews of Aragon:
"Woe to us! Who can stand before the sons of kings;
To cast light before the face of he who walked in darkness;
And to open, in straits, blind eyes?;
Who can express [his] mighty acts;
With enemies at the gate, a voice on high?
For this our heart is faint,
Our dance has turned into mourning;
We have brought down as a ghost out of the ground;
Our voice is lower than low, a still voice;
Who can stand up to repair the breach;
And to complete that which is wanting without number,
Among the wretched Jews;
Who have lost their value, high of stature hewn down."
Alcazar's father is living in Avignon, France
Alcazar Golluf and Oro Xaprut are the parents of
