Vance History Online: Reviving our Ancestors
http://vancehistoryonline.blogspot.com/2014/10/reviving-our-ancestors.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. This is not a blog about my personal Vance genealogy, but I recently tried a nice trick I read about reviving old pictures and I thought I'd share it. A few years ago I had the luck of meeting a far-off cousin a bazillion times removed who was also researching our common Vance ancestors. I had dates, wills, and other records to share, but she had something even more exciting - an album of pictures going back to my 3rd-great-grandparents! John Vance with added color. I will alway...

Vance History Online: March 2014
http://vancehistoryonline.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. Another Vance of the Past: Gilbert Vance, fl.1630-1641. Was a man named Gilbert Vance in counties Cavan and Fermanagh one of the first Scottish Vance immigrants into Ireland? Ireland's counties, showing Fermanagh (now in Northern Ireland). And Cavan (now in the Republic of Ireland). Then in 1641 the local Catholic populations rebelled and a short bloody uprising followed. Sir Francis Hamilton and his men were forced to flee, and only regained their barony in the 1660s. In the year...

Vance History Online: July 2014
http://vancehistoryonline.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2014. Infamous and Violent Vances. I recently came across a reference to the 1827 Carson-Vance duel in western North Carolina (see below) and it got me wondering how many Vances in history became infamous through violence. All of the Vances that I'm aware of who famously met their end through violence are, for some reason, in the U.S. (does that mean something? Here are the ones I know of in chronological order:. Abner Vance (c. 1760 - 1819). In a timely coincidence, a new article has ap...

Vance History Online: June 2014
http://vancehistoryonline.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Vances of the Past: The Rev. John Vans of Kilmacrenan. Today's blog post is a musty dive into old books, so I thought I'd start with a fun fact: did you know that on Ancestry.com there are 38,948. Public family trees that include the Rev. John Vans of Kilmacrenan? The man is probably more widely known as an ancestor than he ever was in real life! And if YOU don't know who the Rev. John Vans is, read the Irish origins of "Vance" in our Short History of the Vance Surname. Record a...
