Hi Everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that the most recent excel file of our project "Early Van Norman Census Returns" is now up on Sherri's Van Norman website - http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vnfa/census.html - and is available to download. A few corrections have been entered and additions have been made to this compared to previous versions, including a few early Canadian [Ontario] entries. As well I have started to identify known Ancestral Family Lines - i.e. VA for the Van Arnam (etc.) lines from New York & VN for the Van Norman (etc.) lines from the Smithfield, Pennsylvania area. See the "Notes" section for additional explanations. As always, the list has not been double-checked, so use it with caution. If you know of any additions or corrections, or can match up an entry to a certain family, please let me know so I can update the list. Information on female lines would also be appreciated, or if anyone has access to or entries of some of the surviving State census returns (especially NY), please send it along as well. I believe if we can sort out many of these early census returns, we will have a much better chance of linking up more of the early Van Norman families and strays, to help us build a more complete set of family trees! Thanks, Stephen P.S. We hope to do this with later census returns as well, but I've been sidetracked lately with other issues and haven't pursued it as vigorously as I had intended. It is in the planning stages however..... SW
