The
earliest mentioning of the
family name MOORKENS I found in the 15th
century at the University
of Leuven. The
Moorkens at the university
originated from Herentals
in the province of Antwerp
in Belgium. Since
1983 I am doing
genealogical research on
the Moorkens in the
world. The Moorkens
are situated mainly in the
province of Antwerp in
Belgium. All
Moorkens are
related somehow, although
some connect 300 years
ago, to : Heynrick
Moerkens x Elisabeth Wouts 
(Doc
ref 162 - Church records
Herentals, marriage 4
November 1596) The
Moorkens database contains
nowadays about 5000 names
of relatives, from the
year 1470 to
date. Please check
the surnames list for some
of those names. If
you fill out
the form on the surnames
list I will let you
know if I can link you
with this information to
the Moorkens database. |
