Dear Christy, I'm sorry to say that you are out of luck! The second tome of Volume I of "The Van Voorhees Family in America" does not contain the family of Edw. Hedden and Gitty Voorhis. The individuals who are listed in sequence are #6853 and next #6859. So you can see that there is a glaring hiatus where Gitty's number would fall.

Hi Dorothy, Did I send in a renewal for this year? I am too forgetful.

Thanks so much Dorothy, I must say I'm very disappointed. I guess that I must continue to look at census records, try to find church records... to make this connection. I just can't seem to find anything though. Also thank you since you just saved me a big trip tomorrow to the CT State library.
