First VN Families Updated

After spending months going through the VN data collected over the past 14 years we managed to cut the number of families in half!  Thanks to everyone who contributed information to make this possible.

We now have 127 "first" VN families - those that cannot be linked to parents or a larger existing VN tree. All that's left to double check are the 75-100 "strays".

The good news/bad news is that if you find your VN research interest on our first families page, we have not yet connected them to a larger tree; or if you cannot find your VN research interest on our first families page they're either within a larger tree (good news!) or we do not yet have information on them.

Check out the updated families page on our website: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vnfa/families.html

VN Families Updated

The list of "first known" VN families has been updated. It now has 40 families that cannot (yet) be connected to a larger VN tree.

If you recognize any of these families, can link them to a larger tree, or would like to be listed as a descendant, please get in touch through the website.
