Family Tree Index (looking for a dropped link? missing individual? click here)

The VV-Vollick-in-Canada site was begun in November 2011 and we felt the various branches to be complete enough to take counts by March 2012.  Very soon into the project, we thankfully received an abundance of contributions and corrections from other VV descendant researchers.

The second year of the project, 2013, with interest particularly from those Canadian VV ancestors whose lines returned to the States, we developed further generations.  Searches into early land petitions and land records, resulted in new discoveries that enabled us to merge some stray branches into the known VV lines.

At the beginning of each project year, this is where we stand:

MERGED BRANCHES

After the first year of research, in February 2013 we were able, with documentation, to merge the following branches.  To avoid duplicate names in searches, we have deleted two trees and the individuals have been re-numbered in their new places.  For further description of the original trees, click the ? icon.  For a chart showing individual names with their corresponding new links, click the links below.

VV-David the Shoemaker, now merged into the VV-Jacob-(Phylander)-HODGES tree (why? )

VV-(coopers)-LAUZAU, now merged into the VV-Adam-Kingston-DIAMOND tree (why? )

In 2014:

VV-Elisabeth-OUTWATER, now merged into the VANVALKENBURGH tree (why? )
 

 


 
NEW BRANCHES

In 2013, with valuable input from contributing VV descendants, we were alerted to other VV families living in proximity but so far unconnected by documentation - these may have been Quebec-based VV's originally, who appear in Ontario to marry, then move on to the States.  We found more branches by performing a search in American census records and filtering for those who claimed to have been born in Canada.:

New 'stray' branch: VV-Geo-Rebecca-HannahWRIGHT (more info )
 
New 'stray' branch: VV-Battersea-Brides-SEARS-LAKE (more info )
 
New 'stray' branch: FOLLICK-Henry-TIFFIN-Michigan (more info )
 

We separated out a branch from the known VANVALKENBURGH line, thereby a new stray line created:

New 'stray' branch: VV-David-LucyMILLER-Storrington had been previously a son of John VV and Hannah Patterson (more info )
