The VanDerveer Family and The Line of Some VanDerveers of New York and New Jersey (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Thirty years in the making, this genealogy is best described as a reference work on the VanDerveer family. The author's father could never trace his VanDerveer line back further than his great grandfather, and her challenge was to discover about the earlier lines. She began from the known to the unknown, but then turned her attention to the beginning and moved forward, and after several years of searching, was able to connect the family line. She is grateful to all of the authors who have gone before in tracing this family through articles in genealogical magazines, and to many emails and correspondence by genealogical groups. Most interesting, and enlightening, were local histories, national histories, cultural histories, and museums. Fortunately, discussions with Betty Campbell of Belle Mead, New Jersey, and Ursula Brecknell of the VanHarlingen Historical Society, provided the key to her father's lineage and the connection to the first immigrant ancestor.
