Congratulations to Aviva and yourself on the birth of Jacob. I too, am glad you finished entering the first part of your work on the internet. I also am enjoying the wonderful response to my question, "where are all the vans". Am learning a lot about our VAN family. Initially I thought I was from the Jan Symonese branch but recent information looks like I may be from the Cornelius Sijmonsz and Marretje Dirkse Ammerman via Dirck Cornelius and Catlyntje Vanderbilt. Good luck to your family. Kay (VanNosdall) Mackey
