This is one of the original sources I had back in the 1980s on my Van Horn family in Louisiana. These books back in the day were known as vanity history books and the writeups were written and submitted for publication by the families themselves. In essence, it was their version of their family history. This fine source but as I have discovered has one major flaw and some inaccuracies. I will have more to say about that in a later post.
Welcome to Larry's Family History Blog. This site is devoted to the genealogy research I'm currently conducting on my ancestral and related family lines. As new information and photos are discovered on my familes, I will post it here. This blog is run by Larry Van Horn and you can reach me at familyhistorian at frontier.com.
