Hello, Our area was settled by folks from Northumberland and Cumberland in the 1820s. The local community was called Vanneck. All that remains of that hamlet is Vanneck Church. I have been unable to find the origin of the name, Vanneck. Often the early settlers named a community for a place - village, property name - in their homeland. I was wondering if anyone on the list has any idea from where the name Vanneck came. Sincerely, Carol Small Ontario, Canada

Perhaps it was from the individual who led that particular group ? http://www.vanneck.com/ Cheers Steve On 29/08/2010 15:36, Roy and Carol Small wrote: > Hello, > > > > Our area was settled by folks from Northumberland and Cumberland in the > 1820s.
