GuestBook, Vandenbossche Family Home Page

Thank you for visiting! The purpose of this page is to provide an interactive forum for researchers and family members of the Vandenbossche Clan. Share your name and tell us about your Vandenbossche related family tree research interests! Unfortunately, due to spammers, I have turned off your ability to add additional entries to the GuestBook yourself but if you email me your question I will post it to this forum page.

In general, be aware that spammers sometimes use guestbooks like this to harvest email addresses. When I post your email address, I will embed in your email address something like "DeleteThis" (i.e. ebeeman@DeleteThis@umich.edu). I will mix this up a little to keep 'em guessing :-)

Although this doesn't totally prevent those folks from sending out their junk, at least it will slow them down.

  • I am 16 years old and know a little about my family history. From what I understand, The Vandenbossche's immigrated to The US and the people at Ellis Island couldn't pronounce or spell the last name. They changed it to Vanderbush and left it at that. Some time after, my great great grandfather or uncle or something insisted that the name become 2 words(Vander Bush). I am the son of Gilbert C. Vander Bush and the grandson of Dr. Edward Vander Bush who died in 12/11/02

He may have been born in Canada, maine or New Hampshire. I'm also looking for a half-sister (daughter of Clement)who lived in California and visited Maine about 40 years ago. Thanks.

  • Since I was young I have been interested in finding out the past of my clan. Maybe because everyone around me is named Smith or Johnson...and we have a 13 letter last name. All I have learned is that my great grandmother and great grandfather came from the Netherlands in the 1920's. They had my grandfather...Raymond Van Den Bossche...who had Rand and Tami Van Den Bossche. I do not know very many dates or names. I was told that Van Den Bossche means From The Woods. If anyone has anymore information I would like to know. I would like to know the coat of arms. Thank you. -Lyn

  • Hi I am a 28 year old female and I am trying to find more info on the V'bossche family. My father does not know an awful lot and I hoped that someoen out there would be able to help me. What makes this special is that I am of African decent my parents are both from Ghana which was once named the Gold Coast as I understand it there were a few flemish people in Ghana all those years ago. There is still a
    Dutch part of Accra because my fathers family still lives there. Can anyone help?

  • Hi my name is suzanne oxenham i live in oxford england. My deceased mother's
    maiden name was Vandenbosch. She was born in Belgium. We still have family
    there who i met once and would dearly love to be in touch with again. She was
    an only child born about 1920 ish. Her name was Maria Wouters/Vandenbosch
    actuall... some confusion over legal name according to her connected with
    divorce laws in belgium at time. But sure her biological father was Pierre
    Vandenbosch who fought in the resistance in the War. My mother married an
    english soldier named Walter Holmes. If any of this means anything to you
    pleases contact me. I would very much like to contact my family or add
    information for you.
