The Vis Home Town of Midwolda, NTH c1890.
I have Harriet Kennon to thank for documenting most of our Vis line. She is a descendant of Gerrit Vis and Klazina Buning. I originally found her name at the Lake City Library, then found her again in Feb of 1999 on the Missaukee County Gen Web site on the internet. She remains a great friend of mine, and we correspond quite often.
I know you may be thinking it is a waste of time to look through through this whole thing, so if you want, you can go to the Vis Family Tree Index of Names. This is alphabetical order, and you can see if your ancestor's name, or perhaps your name is in this family tree. You just may be surprised!
John Bowen (Boven) traveled to the Netherlands in 1995 and tells me Midwolda is in the area of where our Vis ancestors came from. He also sent me this neat photo of Midwolda, NTH circa 1890.
