    Notes 
    • Born Leonardus Fukken
      Surname changed upon entering US in 1864 to Van de Velde/VanderVelde.

      ...Re: the "obvious reasons": in the past I had contact with someone in the US who also had done investigations to this family Fukken. And he was sure that he used the name Van de Velde (or whatever spelling) because of the pronounciation of the name Fukken, which in English of course does have a bit different meaning than in Dutch.
