Article:Hello, I was very astonished to read that the roots of the Vanaken family get to Belgium. In fact Belgium is a rather small country: by car or train, I can get anywhere in Belgium within 2 hours. So to the question if I live near Tielt or Wingene, I 'd say 'yes'. In fact, neighbors of mine are called "De Pre" by family name. Date about the families you can get in the city halls of Tielt and Wingene; I don't think there are places on the web where you can get info like that. If you need any other info don't hesitate to contact me. Greetings, Johan Vanaken - mv020279@12move.be

Replying to Original Article:
Has anyone done research on the Belgian Van Aken families? Where would we find records for Tielt and Wingene? How far back do the records go?
