Success #1
An entire family of B'nei Anusim are presently undergoing
Halachic Return under Rabbinical supervision. One of
these family members has already received a "Certificate
of Return" whereby an Orthodox Rabbi has done
sufficient investigation to lead him to the conclusion that
she is, in fact, a descendant of those who fled Spain in
1492...winding up in Mexico. The family maintained their
heritage behind closed doors and under cover of
darkness for centuries. The Spanish Inquisition didn't
officially end until 1834. Mixed marriages are being
rectified with conversion, according to Halachah, under
Rabbinic Supervision. Berrera (Pear) and Jimenez (son of
Shimon)

Success #2
A businessman, after careful genealogical research and
extensive DNA testing, presented the results to an
Orthodox Rabbi. The Rabbi concluded this evidence
provided sufficient proof that maternal ancestors of the
businessman were B'nei Anusim. This case differs from
the case above in that this Spanish Jewish Family arrived
on shores of present-day Croatia after expulsion in 1492
CE, only to be forced to convert centuries later during
one of the many wars which ravaged the Balkans. Family
Surnames are Kramar/Mercado (Merchant), Ambroz
(toponym 'Valle de Ambroz'), Horvat/Hrovat (Croatian),
Gers/Gersh (Gershon) and Perec (pronounced 'Peretz').
"Certificate of Return" was granted-he is considered a
Jew in all aspects. He is presently undergoing Orthodox
Conversion education. His wife is undergoing Orthodox
Conversion. Once she completes her conversion they can
re-marry, according to Halachah. No mixed marriage.

Success #3 (pending)
Each case is unique - this one is still awaiting more info
from Nicaragua and Honduras.
