Data Exchange

The original purpose of this website was to act as a forum for posting data on the descendants of Jan Pietersz van Deventer from whom, to my knowledge, nearly all of the Van Deventers in the United States are descended as well as any other lines of Van Deventers found in North America. It continues to function for this purpose, albeit at a low level of effort.

Known alternate spellings of van Deventer include:

Van Deventer Van Devanter Van Devender Van Devander
VanDeventer
Vandeventer Vandevanter Vandevender Vandevander Vanderventer
Van De Venter
