    http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/castillo/365/  Have there been any "odd" religious practices in your family, inconsistent with your religion, if you have one? My aunt was born in Spain, was a Roman Catholic, but her mother koshered the meat, as did her mother, and her mother. This might indicate Sephardic ancestry. In Peru, there are Catholics, who sit on something hard, when a close relative dies, also a Jewish custom.

    Isn't the Jewish religion passed on thru the mothers?

    Yes...if the mother is Jewish, then the child(ren) is/are Jewish, according to Jewish law..
