Chris, we have no idea how our branch of the Ghents ended up in the Baltimore area of MD in the US. We're hoping that we might get some information from this forum. Here in the US Ghent is not a common name. For many years our family and my two uncles were the only Ghents in the Washington D.C. area phone book. I have found a town in Virginia and one in West Virginia named Ghent and a company in Ohio named Ghent. When I wrote and asked the company president how the company got its name he had no idea. Good luck in finding your link to the family...maybe we'll be related through the UK Ghents!My dad's uncle changed the spelling of Ghent to Gent because people mispronounced it all the time. Do you pronounced it with the "j" sound or hard "g" sound (h is silent)?
Thanks for your reply!
Alice
