Dear Debra,
Thanks for the info you've posted. I don't suppose you'd send it to me in a more easily used form; a gedcom would be ideal as it saves re-typing. I would like to add your Vances to my database.
I'm collating the English, Scottish, Irish, American and other overseas Vances in the hope of finally sorting out the connection between them and my family of Vans of Barnbarroch.
My aim is to collect every (!) recorded Vance family and try to piece together the entire picture, using all the available sources and taking into account the genetic data.
I'd really appreciate any information you have about 'your' or any Vances and particularly any ideas, legends, or better still, knowledge, about their origins.
Having all the available information may help in eventually finding some of the earlier generations in Ireland and Scotland, particularly if we can find some male Vances; if we can persuade any male descendants from your line to get a DNA test, we shall at least know which branch of the Vances yours is.
Best wishes,
Jamie.
