Robert P Van Natta of a family with roots
in Oregon dating back to 1870, and ancestors
Traceable to to Charlemagne.

The Van Natta name itself is tracable to a young
Dutchman from Etten Holland who thought he
was immigrating to New Amsterdam only to find
when it got here that the flag and the name had been changed and he was in New york. Folks who couldn't spell well morphed Van Etten into Van Natta. The 'Van" is simply the
Dutch word for 'of' or 'From' equivalent to 'von' in German or 'de' and its cousins in French and related languages.
