Rabbis Lazare and Gerson Zay -

Hello. My research indicates that I am a descendant of the line of Rabbis, the Zays. Lazare (b.1475 Portugal or Spain). Gerson (b. 1510 Portugal or Zeeland), Salomon (b. 1535 Metz, France), Maren (b. 1560 Metz, France) They were one of the original Jewish families in Metz. I'm trying to find out where the Zay's originated from. It seems that Lazare and possibly Gerson were from Portugal. Does anyone have any information on them connecting them to Portugal? Thank you in advance
