27 May 2002 Internet Post by Donald Van Vickle - Hi i am new to this but am very curious about the family.My dad is Jack Van Vickle he spoke about family in Danville.He has a brother Chuck and sister Mary. His Dads name has slipped my mind i will get back to you when i find out.They grew up in Chanute ,Kansas.if you know someone i can talk to about my family i would love to hear from them.I also remember him saying that he thought his decendants were a brother and sister that came over from Flanders This clearly indicates that Jack Van Vickle had a son, Donald, who authored this post. I tried to reply (5 June 2005) to Donald's posted email address but it was returned undeliverable.
