Talk:Van der Wal

De Walle, Beetsterzwaag, Friesland, The Netherlands
My ancesters lived on De Walle, near Beetsterzwaag and adopted the name Van der Wal in 1811. De Walle is the oldest levy Friesland. These days only a small ditch on a street with the same name remains. When you look at the distribution of last names on a map, a high concentration of "Van der Wal" can stil be seen around Beetsterzwaag. I do not know if this is pure coincidence or that they are all family.
