Vandett- Pennsylvania
My maiden name is spelled Vandett and I was told that my great-grandfather had dropped the "e" at the end- Vandette.I am from central PA, my family are the only ones I know but, I have been told many stories of the Vandett family in the New York City area and Upper New Jersey area also.John Allen Vandett was a soldier and married my grandmother when he was stationed at Fort Indiantown Gap.He adopted my father as an infant aparently and several years later either divorced or left them.I am just starting to look into the Vandett line but, I do know their are many different spellings due to immigration went by the sound of the name and not by the actual spelling.I hope this will help you due to there are A LOT of Vandett and variations.
