During the past twelve years I have traveled the U.S. and Germany in search of information regarding the NIDA/NIDAY/NIDY/VONADA and von NIDA families. It has been a most pleasant journey with rewards beyond explanation. I have met many cousins in person, by phone, e-mail and s-mail, who also have in interest in genealogy and the pathways of our ancestors. We have shared our data with each other and the result is an accumulation of some 28,000 names, all connecting to a common source, in my current database. This invaluable information is now available in a hardback, library quality book with more than one hundred and fifty pictures, some over 100 years old. The family crest is imprinted on the cover in gold. There are maps and histories of the areas where many of our ancestors lived. This publication has over 1,100 pages and is fully indexed with over 10,000 names. Included are over 1,600 surnames with many ADKINS, CARPER, CLARK, COLLINS, CRINER, CRITCHFIELD, DAVIS, DEWITT, EPLING, EVANS, HARRIS, HENSLEY, JOHNSON, LANTHORN, LASLEY, MULLINS, PORTER, ROBINSON, SIMMONS, SMITH, THOMAS, and WHITE families. We sincerely hope that this book will encourage others in the preservation of our heritage for many future generations.
If you have any questions regarding our family, please send an e-mail and I will respond as quickly as possible. It is always a thrill to meet another cousin and exchange family information.
