Vitter Family Genealogical Links

Welcome to our family genealogy web page! It's organized and maintained by yours truly, Jeff Vitter. Here I keep information and links about my extended family's genealogy as well as my academic lineage.

A Photo Album of Greeting Cards

This photo album contains Vitter Family holiday greeting cards through the years. It's a great tradition of over 60 years still carried on today by the children of A.L. and Audrey.

Online Family Tree

At the Genealogy.com web site, you can see the full up-to-date family tree that my wife Sharon and I put together for the Vitter-St. Raymond-Artigues-Ferran-Hofeline-Dureau-Cougot-Péré-Weaver-Kohlenberg-Bendorf-Grimes-Bell-Mayberry-Wren-Nicolay Family. The database currently contains well over 13,000 names.

Recommended for more detailed info is the indexed database of my family tree at GeneaNet.org, surtout si l'on parle français ! You can also access it by clicking on the following box

or by entering a query in the box below

I'm always interested in learning new information about relatives, whether they're from the younger generations or distant ancestors. Please send me any information you have, such as birth/death dates, birthplace, profession, marriage info, children, parents, etc.
