Welcome to the "N" list, Vining families whose father's (or single-parent mother's) first name begins with the letter N. Family units are arranged alphabetically by the first name of the father (or single-parent mother). Links are provided to enable you to move up and down each lineage. To follow a line back in time (ancestors), click on the underlined portion of "(son of ...)" or "(dau. of ...)" beneath the name of the person you want to trace back. To follow a line forward in time (descendants), click on the name of the person whose offspring you want to see. A plus sign (+) following a name means that that person had one or more children, but that family group has not been added to this web page. For census information, click on "census data for this family" at the end of a family's entry. To view documentation (other than census records) for a particular individual, click on "documentation" to the right of a parent's name or to the right of a child's data. If a child eventually had offspring, the link to the documentation for that child will be found to the right of his/her name when a parent.
Please note: I appreciate very much the corrections and additions that many people are contributing to this genealogy. However, the real value in this project is the documentation that, unfortunately, is rarely contributed. Please, if you have images of gravestones, census records, or, for deceased persons, birth, marriage, and death certificates, submit them, and I will post them for the benefit of all. Thanks.
All information, especially source material, for inclusion in this web page should be sent to info@vfthomas.com or mailed to "Vining Genealogy; V. F. Thomas Co.; P. O. Box 400; Southwest Harbor, ME 04679". And, of course, please report all errors.
A little work by each of us will save a lot of work for all of us.
