Thanks so much Cheryl. Both spellings of Vandevender/Vandeventer were used for the same family in Mt. Pulaski in our line. I do have some pictures out of Logan Co that I will send you in a week or two - a school picture (undated) of the Chestnut IL school, and various kinfolk. You have my permission to put them on the board! Also, I think I have some obituaries that you might be able to use. Sandi

You know Sandi, my grandfather said some of the Vandevenders were Vandevenders and some were Vandeventers -- and I frankly assumed there was just some confusion about the spelling. There was also a separate Vandeventer line. Vandevender and Vandeventer were pronounced quite differently. van DE venter and vandevender. I am always looking for more things for the web site. I am rather behind due to the packing and the moving and the disaster in getting settled but I expect to start getting caught up shortly. I have about 100 obits to put up when I can.
