I have just begun my internet search for family information, and I'm not
sure how to search. My Grandmother was a Van Campen, born Myrl Van Campen in South Dakota. Her
Father was Victor (Vance) Van Campen. His Father was John Van Campen (a
civil war vetern who later moved to Iowa). John's Father was Elijah
Van Campen. Elijah married Sally Crawford on June 22, 1834. They lived in
Oramel, New York. Elijah served in the Civil war - Co. C 16th veterns corp.
NY. He died in service on Oct. 13 1864 and is buried at Harrisburg, PA.
If you have information on any of these people, please reply. Thanks!
