Introduction
This is a brief account. It will further generate separate Post for each "Godfather" who began their posterity in British Malaya - now known as Malaysia.
Aelian Van Dort and Augustus Van Dort
Aelian and Augustus were sons of Willem Van Dort. Their parents, Willem Van Dort and Christin Botaju had 14 children.
The brothers, Aelian and Augustus emigrated to British Malaya after Dutch Celyon fell to the British. Ceylon is now known as Sri Lanka.
Lewellyn Gregory Van Dort
Lewellyn Greory was the son of William Gregory Van Dort. His parents, William Gregory Van Dort and Sophia Marion McCarthy had 8 children.
The brothers Aelian and Augustus were first cousins to Lewellyn Gregory. Their fathers, Willem Van Dort and William Gregory Van Dort were brothers.
Genealogy Details
Understandably, to narrate family lineage in this manner makes difficult reading. However, this will be more clear and easier with chart that would adequately explain. The charts will become available when I find suitable software and web hosting for it.
In the meantime, this is meant as a bird's eye view for the brief background of each of the "Godfather" Van Dort whose origin are from the Ceylon Dutch Burgher community.
From past communication that I had with a few other Van Dort persons in Malaysia it was impossible to trace their ancestry. This would require further enquiries and is dependent on the cooperation from these persons. It also depends on the availability of fact information rather than hearsay. Hopefully, with the help of this Blog, something might develop favourably to include any other "Godfather" Van Dort to the Malaysian accountability.
