Can I just say that I love photos? I do. The following photo is awesome. Thanks to my uncle for sending it.
There were ten original Vienop's who arrived in Napa, California at the beginning of 1901 with six of them in this photo. This family includes my direct family line. Mary was my great grandmother. Anna and John (Henry) were my great great grandparents.
For any Vienop's researching our line, feel free to contact me. Our line only has a few people that we know of researching the Vienop's/Vinup's in the U.S. Napa, CA and Daykin, Nebraska appear to be key places to find all of our related Vienop's outside of Germany.
Journaling my genealogy research online seems to be the right thing to do for the future of my research rather than hiding it away in some box or drawer in my home. This blog is more of a diary of my research which expands as I go. Know that a post from last year may have more updated research in a different post. I love the discovery process which has resulted in such wonderful success in finding my roots. If you comment and are looking for a response, please leave me an email address.

Thanks for commenting. I see your grandfather and my great grandmother in the photo. They were brother and sister. :-)
