Classification: Query
Surnames: Vinck (Voshnavinck?)
I'm trying to do the Vinck family tree but can't go back any further than Charles Vinck, born 1824 in Voneche, Belgium. He came to Manitoba, Canada in 1890 and died in 1902. My problem is that apparently the Vinck name came about when the name was shortened from Voshnavinck. I don't think the spelling is correct because I can't find this surname anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
