The oldest ancestors Van de Streek firstly lived on the “bovenstreek” in the municipality Oldebroek, Netherlands. After 1735 Egbert Gerrits lives in Oosterwolde. He there married and lived in the hamlet "de streek". There our surname comes from: Van (= from) de Streek!
Hello, I’m Henk van de Streek from Drachten, Holland. Since (around 1990) a book about the genealogy of the "old veluwse family Van de Streek" was published, my interest for genealogy was aroused. By retirement I became rather more time for instance to complete the genealogy of my family (Van de Streek) since the appearance of the book. Particularly I want to examine the branches of the pedigree,which has developed in the USA and/or Canada. The book concerning our family does not mention the developments of Van de Streek's in the USA and/or Canada. Nevertheless many have emigrated and they found a new homeland over there. My first interest is to find out who’s who with the name Vande(r)Streek in the USA. To start I found in the white pages about 40 “van de(r) Streek’s”. I only have a couple of e-mail-addresses and in first instance I hope to receive more. By email I can precise the presentation of my questions about data, names, family’s en relations, like the attachment of this mail of which I hope you will return the completed form to me. I am very curious about your response.
