Johannes Jans Laenen Van Pelt

Death was between 1575 & 1585.

As Johannes never left Overpelt there is no logical reason why he would have used the surname "van Pelt", meaning literally "from Pelt", his name was Johannes Jans Lanen. I have added "Johannes Jans Van Pelt" to the AKA field of the profile to assist with potential matches. [Alex Moes].

GEDCOM Note

The Lane family (original name Laenen), is but one branch of a large number of families in Europe, known under the names of Laenen, van der Lane, van der Laen, de la Lanen, etc. In England the name has always been Lane, and such is the uniform spelling in America today. The family or Jans Laenen, whose descendants were in Somerset Co, NJ was a Laenen family of North Belgium, which was originally a part of the United Netherlands. Two sons of Jans Laenen, with their wives and children, left the province of Liege, Belgium, and arrived in America in March, 1663 aboard the vessel "Rose Tree." We know their names and the names and ages of the children they brought over. We know, their father's name in the old country, because each of the immigrants bore the middle name "Jansen," meaning son of Jans. He was either Jans Laenen or Jans Laenen van Peelt, as the immigrants put the "van Peelt" (or van Pelt) after Laenen, as a rule, by which it is to be understood that, while their real surname was "Laenen," they were also "from the Peel," expressed in Dutch by the words "van Peelt." Both were entered on the ship's lists of passengers, however, in the customary short form of "Thys Jansen" and "Teunis Jansen." (See "NY Gen. and Biog. Record," Vol. 14, p. 181). The spelling "Lane" is truly of English derivation and account for a great many bearing that name in America who were not related to the Laenen family. After only two generations in America, the Laenen spelling was abandoned for the shorter, English, spelling of "Lane".
