The genealogy pages of the family van Dort
The family van Dort from The Netherlands is probably not one family.
It is more likely that several families moved away from Dordrecht, also
called Dordt, at a certain period of time. When they settled down in a
new city they were called van Dort, which could mean from Dordt or from
Dordrecht. A genealogist, who looked into the family Schot, a family which
is closely related to the family van Dort in Bergen op Zoom, claims to
have found evidence that the family van Dort from Bergen op Zoom, originally
came from Dordrecht. We didn't find evidence in Bergen op Zoom to support
this theory yet, but it is very well possible.
In The Netherlands
of the 17th century people with the name van Dort could be found in various
cities. In the 18th and 19th century people with the name van Dort
were spread all over The Netherlands, Brazil
and Sri Lanka.
And in the 19th and 20th century people with the name van Dort were spread
over the whole world: the US,
Canada, Australia,
Indonesia, Malaysia,
Germany, England and Belgium.
