This site provides resources and information to further the researches of Via/Vier/Viers/Viar/Viars/Viet genealogists. The other main Via website, — Early Via Family: Vias Born Before 1800 — provides a wealth of information on the earlier Vias. While there may be some overlap here, my goal is to add to the work done on that site by providing resources primarily for Vias born after 1800.

I welcome contributions, and will attribute your contributions to you. I prefer submissions in ASCII text format, or as MS Word or MS Excel attachments. Please realize that I will convert items to HTML or PDF and reformat them to fit in with the overall design of this site. You may e-mail me at jordan@leapingdogpress.com.

Items listed below without links available yet are forthcoming. For a record of changes on this site, visit our What's New page. To let us know how you fit in to the Via family, sign our Guestbook.
