Looking for any info on the Vandelinder (Vandelinden, Vanderlinder) family. My G Grandfather Gradus Vandelinder was born in JoDavies Co approx the 1860's-1870's. I believe that his father was "John C Vandelinder" & his uncle was "William Vandelinder". I think they may have come from New York. I have heard rumors that my line is descended from the Jacob Vanderlinden who helped found New Amsterdam (now Manhattan) but have not confirmed this yet of course) As was usual in those days, the spelling of their surname was varied. Gradus married "Ethel Pearl Miller", also, I believe from Jo Davies county (try researching the last name "Miller" lol lol). Any info or leads would be much appreciated. Dena Mattox Rush
