Definition of a Family

In human context, a family (from Latin: familiare) is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children. Extended from the human "family unit" by biological-cultural affinity, marriage, economy, culture, tradition, honour, and friendship are concepts of family that are physical and metaphorical, or that grow increasingly inclusive extending to community, village, city, region, nationhood, global village and humanism. A family group consisting of a father, mother and their children is called a nuclear family. This term can be contrasted with an extended family.

van Eck Familie Stamboom

Ek bou aan die Van Eck Familie Stamboom en nooi enigiemand uit om vir my fotos en enige inligting rakende die Van Eck Familie te stuur asb.

Since 2009 I have started to build a Van Eck Family Tree and in this journey discovered there are other people that are doing the same!  This serves as an invitation to anyone, especially in the Van Eck Family, to send me information and pictures with reference to the Van Eck Family.

An official Van Eck Family Tree has been created on the My Heritage Site - and my be viewed by anyone.
