Garland,I too am helping an inlaw do some searching for Van Eke, He knows very little about his family.His father was James Van Eke.I belong to ancestry.com and found 3 famililes in the Census, 1900, Grand Rapids, Kent, MI, Their names were Joe, born June, 1860, mar 11 yrs, born in Netherlands, imm. 1882,Occp. was cabinet maker ;wife was Susie, born May 1871, mar llyrs. 5 child, 3 child living, imm. 1880 in Netherlands;son was Girret, born July 1891 in MI;son was Andrew, born July 1894 in MI and dau. Hattie, born Jan., 1892, in MI didn't find them in any other census.The Other families were on the 1910, Ill census and1920, New York.... Hope this helps and until I hear from James I can't do much so I can find his Father and where helived. Hope this helps you some.....SincerelyINez
