In 1998 I published the first Vermilyea genealogy book, since then several updates have been published. New information continues to be added, however many persons are still unaccounted for. I would appreciate any additional information to add to this genealogy. No one recorded in the first seven generations is still living, but in a couple cases descendants were listed that are, these names and their information has been blocked (XXXXXXXX).
