WELCOME TO THE MEIRHAEGHE FAMILY ASSOCIATION

Our family association was established to provide bearers of the family name - and their relatives - with all available information about their ancestors, lineage, and family history.

Meirhaeghe… Van Meerhaege… Van Merhaghe… Vanmeirhaeghe… Namesakes often think they belong to a different lineage and are not related to each other because their name is spelled differently. However, genealogical research has shown that all Meirhaeghes, with or without Van and however their name may be spelled in all its variants, belong to one and the same Wortegem lineage, whose roots date back to around the year 1200. Our genealogy is fully available through this site. Everyone can also find their personal family tree here and, with or without any assistance, graft their branch onto the family tree.

The family association also looks to the future. We take initiatives to strengthen family ties, bring together name bearers and members, and promote the reputation of the Van Meirhaeghe family. If you want to stay in touch with the family and the family association or support the association, we warmly welcome you as a member or supporting member. You can also stay informed through the association's Facebook page.
