Roots of Van Dort Series Part VII

Is there any information about the origins of the Utrecht Van Dort family?

The Patriarch, Cornelius Jansz Van Dort birth location is Utrecht. He lived there until he sailed to Ceylon in 1700.

Ms. Mascha Van Dort reports as follows:

"The Utrecht family - Background of the family van Dort from Utrecht
According to Hanneke van Dort people from Utrecht origin from a "dorpsomroeper" or herald named Cornelis van Dort. The family lived in Utrecht already in 1700, because Cornelis Jansze van Dort left Utrecht in 1700 to ship for Sri Lanka with the VOC.

In the 18th and 19th century Utrecht lived David and Jan Jurriaan van Dort, who were silver an gold smiths. At least one was quite known because some of his work can be found in the museum of Utrecht or Nieuwegein (next to Utrecht)."

Just how many and how far from its origin has the diaspora of the families Van Dort fanned out?

Again, from the works of Ms. Mascha Van Dort, she reports of families Van Dort being at these locations and in these countries:

Her account by today's is probably a tad outdated through no misrporting of Ms.Mascha. 
There have been newer and additional Van Dort movements that is known to Austria and England. There is also a Van Dort who lives in Sabah (North Borneo) which although is a state in Malaysia but Sabah is a good distance from the Malaysian peninsula. There is evidence of Van Dort who married in Singapore and thereby lived in Singapore too.

The transmigration of the families Van Dort is mind boggling to say the least.
