Interview: Ruben Duran

(KRQE) - Duran is a New Mexico resident who started investigating his family background after visiting Israel, where a museum docent told him about the origin of his last name. He eventually traced his ancestry to a Jewish family in Algeria. DNA testing confirmed his Jewish roots about a year ago. Duran is also working on a project with Father Bill Sanchez.
