This is an outline chart made with Family Tree Maker.  Most of you are familar with the outline form which I used to show the overall line of descent.  Starting with my earliest known Vertries/Vantrease, I've listed eight generations and included known number of children, my direct line is in fushia .  Some information has been omitted on living individuals.  You will notice that the name changed from VERTRIES to VANTREASE (or VANTREESE possibly) in the 3rd generation.

After your visit you're welcome to post a note on the Bulletin Board below to state what VANTREASE line (any spelling) or related line you are researching.  List your Vantrease line in NANCY'S SURNAME CONTACT LIST .
