Our Van Dyke AncestrySince my father, George P Bartlett passed away, I've been going through boxes in the attic and found a treasure trove of photos that my grandmother, Gertrude Katheleen Van Dyke Bartlett had stored as keepsakes. Many have names, dates and places written in her hand on the back. I'm going to try to scan the photos and post them here, along with the notes and history appearing on the back for anyone who might be related to be able to share in my grandmother's keepsakes. There are quite a lot of photos and I will scan and include them and the notes as my schedule permits I'll also make a narrative of the lineage, and will try and remember to asterisk those persons whose decedents are mentioned later.So that it makes it easier to follow the lines.
