Vreeland history, online.

Hey, Google Books has digitized The Vreeland Book by Nicholas Garretson Vreeland.  He’s something of a blowhard, making up stuff left and right, but the genealogies in the back are modestly accurate.  If you’re a Vreeland and know a late 1800’s ancestor, you can trace your genealogy here. The ‘50’s Louis Beach Vreeland ‘update’ is in Google Books, but obviously still under copyright. Only a bare sliver is available. LBV corrects much of the NGV braggadocio.

[I was the individual who woke the Vreeland genealogical community up to the existence of the LBV book in 2000. Folks were blowing NGV smoke over MJV’s nonexistent son Claas. Never been thanked for my effort, nor have I ever been credited with clearing away the inaccuracies. I know a great deal of other tidbits about the Vreeland past, but I’ll be damned if I’ll ever trust amateur genealogians again.]
