This illustrated genealogical account of the Vanderpool family in America starts with the Medieval van der Poels in Europe before jumping right into Dutch Colonial America when our immigrant ancestors first came here in the 1600s, and then with each generation thereafter, data, stories, illustrations and articles of interest are shared. With twelve generations in all, each one offers a glimpse into the lives, cultures, and world events going on at that moment, as well as data on the wives who married into the family, and "Articles of Interest" when someone in history finds themselves related to or connected to a Van der Poel, VanderPoel, or Vanderpool during that generation. The book concludes with the art and bio of the author of this book, the twelfth generation of Vanderpool here in America - fine arts graphite pencil artist David J. Vanderpool
