Members of the family have been active in the affairs of the Sephardi community.
Moses Lindo (1760-1837) served as President of Board of Deputies of British Jews from 1817 to 1829. Moses' brother, David Abarbanel Lindo, married Sarah Lumbroso de Mattos and had no less than eighteen children, many of whom married into well known Sephardic families.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LINDO, DAVID ABARBANEL - JewishEncyclopedia.com |url=https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/9995-lindo-david-abarbanel |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=www.jewishencyclopedia.com}}</ref>
David's son Nathaneel Lindo (1810-1889) was a City solicitor who operated the firm Lindo & Co., which had long acted as solicitors for the Spanish Portuguese Synagogue and the Italian consulate in London, a tradition which his sons: Gabriel (1838-1908) and Arthur Lindo (1839-1905) continued.
David Lindo Alexander, a grandson of David Abarbanel Lindo, was President of Board of Deputies of British Jews from 1903 to 1917.
In 1937, Frank Charles Lindo (1872-1938), a great grandson of David Abarbanel Lindo, donated funds to build the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, London.
== Jamaica == thumb|Alexandre Lindo (1742-1812) Among the Jewish residents who made their mark on Kingston’s development, the Lindo family were outstanding.
When Alexandre Lindo arrived in Kingston in 1765, he rented a house on Port Royal Street, and by 1769 he had relocated to a rented house on Peter’s Lane. Alexandre had many children, seven with his first wife, Hannah, and after her death, sixteen with his second wife, Esther Salome. From early, Alexandre set up business on Princess Street, where over time, he acquired several properties. In 1788, he bought a row of houses on Port Royal Street leading to the harbour and established Lindo’s Wharf there.
Per Stanley Mirvis' ''The Jews of Eighteenth-Century Jamaica: A Testamentary History of a Diaspora in Transition'', Lindo "was perhaps the most notorious Jamaican Jewish slave trader, absentee planter, and moneylender at the end of the eighteenth century..."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mirvis |first=Stanley |title=The Jews of eighteenth-century Jamaica : a testamentary history of a diaspora in transition |date=2020 |isbn=978-0-300-25203-3 |location=New Haven |oclc=1153575617}}</ref>
He owned multiple transatlantic vessels and traded in all types of merchandise. For example, one of his vessels, the Esther Lindo, described by Lloyd's Register as a constant trader on the London-Jamaica run, cleared Jamaica for London on May 28, 1790 laden with sugar, cotton, pimento, Nicaragua wood, coffee, ginger, rum, wine, silver, sweetmeats, tamarinds, balsam, copper, castor oil, and tortoise shell.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Faber |first=Eli |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1ySu0sQRv-MC&dq=esther+lindo+tortoise+shell&pg=PA313 |title=Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight |date=2000-07-01 |publisher=NYU Press |isbn=978-0-8147-2879-6 |language=en}}</ref> He owned numerous properties including Greenwich Park (the first steam powered plantation in Jamaica) and Pleasant Hill, a large coffee plantation. Lindo was a successful businessman who bought and traded goods captured by the British Royal Navy.
He supplied André Rigaud during the War of Knives and was close to a French Jew who was executed while trying to spark a slave revolt in Jamaica in 1799. He made large loans to the French Government during the Peace of Amiens, negotiated by Charles Leclerc, to finance the Saint-Domingue expedition. When Britain declared war on France, on May 18, 1803, ending the Peace of Amiens, Lindo attempted to draw a draft in Paris, but the debt was dishonoured and Lindo was threatened with arrest.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LINDO, ALEXANDER - JewishEncyclopedia.com |url=https://jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/9994-lindo-alexander |access-date=2023-01-11 |website=jewishencyclopedia.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Mirvis |first=Stanley |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7nXgDwAAQBAJ&dq=alexandre+lindo+arrest&pg=PT139 |title=The Jews of Eighteenth-Century Jamaica: A Testamentary History of a Diaspora in Transition |date=2020-05-01 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=978-0-300-25203-3 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=LINDO, ALEXANDER - JewishEncyclopedia.com |url=https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/9994-lindo-alexander |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=www.jewishencyclopedia.com}}</ref>
His eldest son, Abraham Alexander Lindo, was put in charge of the family business in Jamaica and Alexandre moved to London, where he was involved in trading, banking and insurance. He leased part of Roehampton estate called Putney Spot from Benjamin Goldsmid while constructing a mansion in Finsbury Square.
He was elected Parnas of Bevis Marks Synagogue in 1805.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Places of interest - Richmond and south west london - Trails - Anglo-Jewish History - JTrails.org.uk |url=http://www.jtrails.org.uk/trails/richmond-and-south-west-london/places-of-interest |access-date=2023-01-11 |website=www.jtrails.org.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GqkwAQAAIAAJ&q=parnas+1805 |title=Jewish Historical Studies: Transactions of the Jewish Historical Society of England |date=2001 |publisher=The Society |language=en}}</ref> That year his sons subdivided Kingston Pen into small lots which then formed a mixed-race working-class township known as Lindo's Town.
