MADURO, CURACAO, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES, MONTPELLIER, FRANCE
Grant of arms (Escu des Armories) donated by Lambert de Montoison to Momon Maduro of Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, to confirm his right and that of his descendants to the coat-of-arms donated to Henry Maduro on 5 April 1697.
French Republic (France), Paris, d.d. 30 May 1926. Paper, 39×27 cm., partly printed, partly handwritten with a hand painted coloured coat-of-arms of the Maduro family signed by J.G. Petrik. With several public adminisration stamps. The grant of arms is framed in a contemporary wooden frame. Some wear in the coat-of-arms on the fold. The Maduro family is to date an important – Jewish- family in the Netherlands Antilles. The Maduro family was of Sephardic Jewish origin. It is fascinating to follow this branch of the Jewish Diaspora. Among many sources, particular insight comes from the works of Margalit Bejarano (the leading scholar of Cuba’s interwar Jewish community) and the late Latin American historian Robert M. Levine. Maduros around the world have also gathered the history of their lineage online. Along with many other Sephardim, the Maduros went first from Portugal to France and then, starting in the 1600s, The Netherlands. In Amsterdam they joined the Levy family by marriage and the surname became Levy Maduro. In 1672 descendants went to the Dutch Antilles (the synagogue there is the oldest still in use in the Western Hemisphere) and from there to various other spots in Central America and the Caribbean. This document is a witness of the diaspora of jewish families and their travels through Europe and the world ever since their families left the country we now know as Israel. H167
