The name is Van Valkenburgh. You can take that on good faith since I am his great grandson.

That isn't necessarily that authoritative, surname spellings often change over generations, and it's even more likely that the mere case of a single letter can change easily. Thornfield Hall (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Thornfield Hall
