On these pages I will post selected information about my own ancestors. I will also post some record extracts and indices for places where I have done extensive research (e.g., all the Stoddard probates found in a particular county over a designated time period).

 

If you go to “Tree” you will be taken to an interactive TNG Genealogy tree of all my relations.

In addition, if you select this link, you will download a PDF file version of the original GEDCOM used to start my TNG tree.

This link is to a page of van Deventer contributors and links to other van Deventer-related websites.
