Thanks to William Yehudha De Oliveira and Olve Utne I have found a lot of new information for my research concerning the familiy tree of Abraham Levi Vitoria alias Italiaender (Venice c. 1639-Amsterdam 1699). After looking at the information they gave me about the Italiaenders in Denmark, I could very quickly conclude that they fit into this familiy tree and are not a separate branch of the Levi Vitoria/Italiaender familiy. All of these Italiaenders appear to be descendants of Abraham: great grandchildren from Nijkerk and Amersfoort in The Netherlands, who went to Denmark starting in the forties of the eighteenth century, and their descendants. Most of the earlier names in the Danish archives also appear in the testament of Ester Levi Vitoria/Italiaender of 1763 (Amsterdam, notary Dominicus Geniets), which reads as the family tree of Abraham. Ester was his youngest daughter and died unmarried and without children. Corresponding names (both testament and Denmark) are Benjamin Abraham Italiaender and his sisters Rebekka, Eva and Reina, all children of Abraham Benjamin Italiaender and Anna Isaac Italiaender of Amersfoort (cousins of each other, Bernjamin and Isaac are the sons of Abraham who came from Venice). The husbands of Eva and Rebekka mentioned in the testament of 1763 are Joël Wessely and Moses Moresco. The former also appears in the Danish archives and the name Moresco is widely known in Denmark. Reina Italiaender gets married in Denmark in 1763 with Mordechaij Jacob Italiaender, son of Jacob Mordechaij Italiaender of Nijkerk and Rebekka Benjamin Italiaender of Amersfoort (again cousins, Mordechaij and Benjamin are sons of Abraham of Venice). The Danish data (census and burial registers) give me more details about the years they were born, got married, and died. As far as I can see now, the name Italiaender (also sometimes Italiander or Italiender) can be found in the Danish archives at least until the end of the ninetheenth century. One of my questions would be whether they would still have used the name Levi Vitoria (perhaps in the context of their synagogue, following the Portuguese ritus). I have found a first indication of this in one of the family trees that I have found on the internet: one of the names recorded there is Trummet Levi Victotia Lovise Italiaender (1812 - 1892). In this case "Levi Victotia" seems to have been distorted from the original "Levi Vitoria". This has opened up a whole new line of enquiry!
