Hey people :D. On my mothers side of the family, my Grandfathers step-fathers name was Van der Veeken. He was living in Belgium but don't know if he is Dutch. But anyway, can someone please tell me what 'Van der Veeken' translates to in English? Thank you :)

How come most Christians can spell Deist, but they can't spell Atheist? (I googled the misspelling, "Diest", and all I got was some city in Belgium.)

I am a huge fan of Jessy De Smet, a Belgian Dance music artist that released her first full length album entitled "Rain" a few years back. I have gone to her official website and all of the email addresses that are provided there have come back to me with a delivery error message. I have contacted WaterMusic Records, one of the record labels that she was/is on but they told me that they have not done anything with her for over a year and they do not know her whereabouts. The people at WaterMusicDance have suggested looking her up on Myspace but that has not worked. I am a huge fan of hers and would like to tell her so. Thank you in advance for all of your help.
