WARNING: We do not have proof that this is a family with the Father Unknown VAN AUKEN/ VANNOCKER. The connection is circumstantial based on the commonness of locality, names and dates. We welcome all comments, additions and corrections.
Please contact Ann Croston acroston125@comcast.net with updates.
We have many “cousins” related on these lines and they need your help with researching.
