I'm a descendant of George N. Vaow of Forkston, PA He was my great grandfather. My Grandfather Lee N. changed the spelling of our name sometime in the early 20th Century to Vail because most people pronounced the VAOW as Va-ill so he just chose the new spelling to fit the pronunciation...Have been around in circles trying to find the origin of the family name...I had a Great Uncle Halleck Vaow...Any info you need or can provide me would be appreciated....contact:
