*****************************************************************

Current research would seem to suggest - confirm - that he was the first Dutchman to visit The Antarctic ... refer Jozef Verlinden research.

Advice from current family is that it was J M N T van Waterschoot van der Gracht who opted to "drop" the 'van Waterschoot' from his name - reasonbeing that 'Americans had difficulty with the extended surname'.

Current direct family are therefore "van der Gracht".
