Vanek Ancestors from Arthur F. Vanek's Collection


When Arthur Frank Vanek and Mona Inez Leeson wed on August 31, 1949 they linked the following family trees, [Maternal ~ Muench and Leeson] [Paternal ~ Vanek and Gremaux].

 
Family ancestry charts were posted previously. Use the Archives to find them, scrolling downward and reading each previous post.


It's always good to start a new year reviewing and reminiscing the past. Taking out an old box filled with portraits and snapshots taken years ago prompted me to begin scanning them to post on our various family ancestor websites.

The following are culled from today's efforts.

  1. Hello there, My name is Marqueta Jonas Graham, and I am a shirt-tail relative of you! Tillie Chia would be my first cousin three times removed's wife. :)

    Do you have any more pictures of Tillie and/or her husband?

    Thank you very much for putting these pictures together,

    1. Thanks for getting in touch Marqueta. Art haas a booklet from one of the Vanek reunions that lists the family tree. I contains some photographs. Our DIL has the original so I'll ask her to bring it when she comes to town.
