John Rodney Ryland of Melbourne, Australia


My name is John Rodney Ryland born 13/9/64 in Victoria, Australia I have Dutch parents who arrived in Australia in 1952. My late father's family name is Rijkelijkhuizen and my mother's family is den Elzen. Her family is from Zoetermeer, Netherlands. My father's mother was Wilhelmina Rijneveen from Zoetermeer. All the info I have on my fathers male line back to the 16th century is not my own work. The credit belongs to a Dutch gentleman who did some amazing work. I thank him.
