Re: Last name Cantu started in Italy.
I also did a DNA search it showed 17 percent Jewish background. I went to Israel and found the name Cantu at the place where st Peter denied the Lord. The sign read, Saint Peter in GalliCantu. The meaning is where the Rooster sang. I also found out the dictionary says canturiar is a family of singers. All my family is musically blessed. Hope this helps. Shalom.

Wow, that only confirms that my family came from Jewish roots which we always suspected. Thanks for posting that information.

Thank you so much for the information! I am a Follower of Yeshua as well and your research has given me confirmation on my possible Jewish heritage.
