Scope and content: This fonds contains materials from different family archives, including documents belonging to the Gradis family, a Sephardic family of Portuguese origin settled in Bordeaux from the late 17th century.
Administrative / Biographical history: The Gradis was a Sephardic family of Portuguese origin that moved to Bordeaux in the late 17th century. In 1685, David Gradis (1665?-1751) founded a trading company in Bordeaux, which, in 1728, took the name of David Gradis et fils (David Gradis and Sons). The company had trading relations with Holland and England and created trading posts in Saint-Domingue and Martinique. In 1731, David Gradis was made a bourgeois of Bordeaux.
The longevity of the Gradis house is based on the succession of its heads of family, among them: Moïse Gradis (1737-1825), Benjamin Gradis (1789-1858), Henri Gradis (1823-1905), Raoul Gradis (1861-1943), Gaston Gradis (1889-1968), Jean Schwob d'Héricourt (1900-80), and Henri II Gradis (born in 1920), succeeded by his son Diégo II Gradis (born in 1955).
In 1921, Maison Gradis (Gradis company) took the name of Société française pour le commerce avec les colonies et l’étranger (French Society for Trade with the Colonies and Abroad) (SFCCE) and later, in 1957, of Société française pour le commerce avec l’outre-mer (French Society for Trade with Overseas). The Company had commercial relations with Canada, Saint-Domingue, and, above all, Martinique, where the Gradis family was engaged in the production and commerce of sugar.; Sources:; Archives Nationales: Salle des inventaires virtuelles; Archives Nationales: Salle des inventaires virtuelles
