Thank you. I did have info that stated Isaac Snedeker's wife was Catelyna Janse I need to verify that my Garret is the son of Roelef & Elsie. I know there guite a bit of info out there. Just not the family group I was working on. I have 3 separate files for different Van Brunt & connected families. The Snedecker's are one of those families. This way I can go back & forth if I think I have found some connection. I am so close I can feel them over my shoulder, but I need to document it if possible.If that isn't possible then I need to find anything to make it the most probable fit. I just can't believe we finally broke down the HUGE brick wall that was Isaac. I had thought for the longest time that he may be the son of Albert I. & Rebecca Miller Van Brunt. Because of the fact that Rebecca's b& d dates were absolutely impossible in Bergan's history; and his family always lived in the same proximity as Cornelia Bennett Barkaloo Van Brunt, Albert's 2nd wife. And their daughter Rebecca & son in law John Smith were living in the place Lucretia had lived prior. But now it seems that my Isaac & Albert were probably first cousins. If our Garret IS Roelef & Elsie's son, then we have a great amount of history to add to the family heritage. Isaac's son Cortland made a great life for himself and his family in NEPA. The family is still here in great numbers. Sorry...I am so long winded here. BUT I am so excited to have finally found Isaac's parents and my children's 5th great grandparents on this side. Faye

Faye: I don't know if they are related to you or not. But I knew an Edward Van Brunt, b: abt 1915 married to a Mazzie ?. They lived in Monsey, Rockland co., New York. He was a good outdoorsman. He taught me to run a trap line as a boy. He had several brothers, I don't remember their names. They had 2 sons, one son killed himself.
