Hello,

I am looking for information on the Damme family, I really don't know where to begin looking for this Family Surname "DAMME" I did a search on Google web site and didn't get too far, I am wondering if when the Damme family migrated to the US if they droped the "Van" or "Von" suffix to the Damme surname. The family I am interested in is as follows.

Louis Henry Damme Sr and Dorothea Reimers I have no dates on them
