Van Etten - Van Atta, Hollarnd to USA

Back in the 1600’s my forefathers and mothers came from Holland, from the area of Etten. When they got to America, to New Amsterdam (New York today) one of them was Jacob from Etten or Jacob Van Etten. Over the years, the name has been “Americanized” to Van Atta. Today there is a town named VanAtta in Ohio! And believe me I have plenty of VanAtta Cousins! I just want to go there, and see where my ancestors came from and walk where they walked and learn more about my heritage. :0) Peg
