The Druis Van Der Laan (in my family the spacing and capitalization seems to depend on who is doing the writing) you refer to is my Great-Great-Grandfather. I don't have access right now to his sibling information, but my aunt might. I have already given her a call to find out more. We have a family tree going back the late 1700's, and I know that there is a Pieter Van Der Laan listed. I hope you are well and would love to hear from you.
