Having set up the Van Dort Genealogy over the past three consecutive days, there were two Van Dort persons on record who left Ceylon and reached Singapore. Unfortunately the mention of them being in Singapore does not give enough "meat" to work on further.
The two persons who were connected to Singapore are:
1. Claude Vivian Van Dort
He married Eveleen Murial Jansz at St. Andrew's Cathedral on May 26, 1922. Now that's really
not in ancient times.
Claude Vivian comes from the same root of Dr. William Gregory Van Dort. Claude It is the same family tree of Lewellyn Van Dort who is the third immigrant to British Malaya.
There is no record of Mr. & Mrs Claude V. Van Dort having children.
2. Arthur Henry Van Dort
There is no mention of him marrying. He was born on Sept23, 1847. The records merely states, "Died in Singapore."
What is interesting is that Arthur Henry comes from the root of Adriaan Van Dort. It is the same family tree of Richard William Van Dort who is the newly discovered fourth immigrant to British Malaya.
There is no record of Arthur Henry's marriage.
We have a lot to thank TribalPages for without their powerful Genealogy Program, it would have demanded a lot of time to arrive at these relationship connections.
IF there ever comes a time that the Van Dorts' were to emigrate to Outer Space, please Van Dorts' all, leave full and complete family data in their new Outer Space Colony. As it is on Earth, even though there are records, the records however fall short of one thing or another.

Hi
My late grandma's name was Ruby Van Dort @ Tan Ruby Sylvester. Heard from my uncle that she was adopted by the Van Dort family in Malacca. After that they came to Johore and Singapore. We've lost touch with the rest tho. After my grandma's death, we went thru' her photo albums and we found her Van Dort Family and also the Murray Family's pictures.
It will be interested if we could find the others. That had always been her wish.
Cheers
