"Not to know what happened before you were born, that is to always be a child.”
– Cicero, Orator, 46 B.C.
WHAT’S IN A NAME
Van Wanzeele or Van Wanseele? These are only two of the many names of our family. How about Vanwansele? Or Van Wamsel? In the U.S. they have been named Van Wanzel,Van Wamsul or even Vanwangel. But we survived.
LIFE STORIES
About some ancestors we know a bit more. Not because they were famous or rich. Their life stories are important because they give us insight in what life looked like at a particular time and place. We are ‘family people’. To us every member of our family is important and worth of attention and praise.
