I am descended from Anna ver Planck, b. 1764 in Oak Hill, near Durham. She was the daughter of Johannes and Catharina Schuh ver Planck. I have that family back for a few more generations if anyone is interested. I agree that there are most likely two different ver Planck or Plan(c)k famililies. One is probably Dutch and the other former Palatine residents. I have found the Germans in one of Henry Jones' books. In fact, I had a discussion with Henry at one of the genealogical gatherings we both attended, and from that moment forward, whenever he has spotted me, he callls out, "Plink, plank, plunk." He's a funny guy. Kathy Gire **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
