Our Van Dyke Ancestry


Since 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.

Alexander Van Dyke 1793-1885 had a son
Benjamin Charles Van Dyke 1838-1884 who had a son
**John Charles Van Dyke 1861-1930
Abraham Mec married Katherine Ziegler and had a daughter
