My husband is a van Aken and he came here in 1955 with his familie. His father was a John van Aken who came from Wassenaar and was married to Jacoba van Klaveren. We have traced back our line to Hieronymus Bosch in the 1700, who was the painter who started Surrealsm painting. My husband also had a uncle Rennie van Aken, who came here about the same time I think.
