Does anybody know the relationship between the Gabriel Van Helsing Jackman is portraying versus the Abraham Van Helsing in the 1931 Dracula and Coppola's version?

It looks like he's meant to be the original Van Helsing and not a descendant or relative Crawdaddy.

"Right off the top I didn't like the name Abraham" says director Stephen Sommers, "I just didn't like it, I couldn't name my lead guy Abraham. There's a reason he's called Gabriel. We've got a different story to tell here."
