Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Vandal (and variant spellings) and their related families. Many came from Belgium, England, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Prussia, and Switzerland. Others were American Indians, some with Shawnee bloodlines. Some settled in New Jersey, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington D.C. in the 1700s. Others left France to settle in Quebec (Canada), then moved to Connecticut. One ancestor, Evert Janse Wendell (1615-1709) married Susanna Du Trieux (1626-1660), and settled in 1642 in Montgomery, New Amsterdam, New York. Focus is on (but not limited to) descendants of their great, great grandson, Abraham Vandal (1758-1848) who married Mary Dillon (1763-1840) at Rockbridge, Virginia in 1780. They made their home at Vandal's Mountain, which was later known as Fork Mountain, in Fayette County, West Virginia. In 1818, Abraham founded the town of Vandalia, West Virginia. In 1837, the town was renamed Fayetteville. Abraham and Mary are buried at the Vandal - Westlake Cemetery in Anstead, Fayette County. During the 1800s, some Vandals moved to California, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Indian Territory, and West Virginia. Later descendants also lived in Canada, Greece, and in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, and elsewhere.
