To the person whose email mentions Addison Co.,Vermont: Maybe 4 years ago, I did some reearch in New Haven, Addison Co.,VT. Ilocated the local village-historian there,arranged to have a lengthy app't. with her to glean for info. and to visit a cemetery as well.She was most helpful. If you did not know, in New England, New y York State, and other states--many have a village or town Historian as well as one at the county level. .even though this Van Wert lived in 2 states, he may have been there long enough to leave a 'footprint'. This may be in a local church,in a business or directouy,a tax list,etc. Try on-line to locate an address fora county historical addredd. If there is a more local-historian-, they can point you in the right direction. Your relative may have had friends in VT.-or a school,depending on his age,etc.Did he perhaps ever go back to visit. If so such Social Items in those days were ALWAYS NEWS and published in the local news. Good luck. charlotte J.Sheldon On Mar 2, 2012, at 12:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: Today's Topics: 1.
