Just be who you are and do not refer to who your ancestors may have been.

It's obviously part of me, I was raised by Dutch people...and now I'm interested in finding my relatives who may or may not even know I exist

It is great that you want to find your ancestors, I also did research and a family member of me actually emigrated to america but he disappeared there

and I come from a family of cloth makers in the dark ages

So. What's the point of knowing it? Did you change when you got to know it? $How did you feel the day you found out?

Does there have to be an exact point in knowing things? Perhaps he just thinks its fun to know.

What's so funny about that?

Please don't classify the crap you are spouting as dutch.

here are all the people that could be related to you:

http://nationaletelefoongids.goudengids.nl/search/Venninckx.html?adtype=searchentry&adrecip=telefoonboek

if you want to call them, use this number:

0031, then forget the 0 in front of the number, and use the rest

Example:

Venninckx, A J H A
Molenstraat 47
5975AE SEVENUM

0774674393

you would have to call:

0031774674393.

Dont forget about the time difference

Maybe it is a better idea to write them first. To do so: I think you could type a letter and then send them a version translated into Dutch (and the english copy). there are a lot of translation machines on the internet:

http://translation.langenberg.com/ (this one works best imo: http://babelfish.altavista.com/) (dutch = Nederlands)

Then to send it, mail it to:

Name: A J H A Venninckx
Street: Molenstraat 47
Zip/Postal code+ Town: 5975AE SEVENUM
Country: The Netherlands

i wish you well
