I began researching the Van Horn & Metternich family trees in November of 2000. The research has been exhausting and time-consuming to say the least, but it's also been very rewarding. Within these pages you can find all my findings which include documents, photographs, and countless stories and legends. I'm open to any suggestions. If you feel any of my information is inaccurate, please fill out my feedback page so I can work with you to figure out the most precise data. Thank you for everyone's support and contributions!
Click here if you want to research the actual records. This link will take you to the Rootsweb World Connect Page. My entire GEDCOM file has been uploaded to their database so you can search freely through the thousands of names that make up the Van Horn and Metternich families. You can search by an entire name (enter in the person's last name, first name) or just click on a letter of the alphabet and search through the surnames that come up. You can even leave my personal database (balebis) and search through the millions of databases submitted by other genealogists.
