Hello Cousins!
I am Leonard "Lenny" Nelson Vasbinder. I am a Private Investigator down here in New Orleans, Louisiana. My website address is
http://www.GeoCities.com/LennyVasbinderPI. I'm just now starting to delve a little into the Genealogy thing for my self.
My dad's side of the family was/is from Tuscarawas County, Ohio, or as we joked as kids... Touch My Raw A$$ County... lol! My dad's side of the family pretty much all lived in New Philadelphia, Ohio, and my first cousin, Kellie Vasbinder Deville, still lives there. She got the last name DeVille from marrying a guy when she lived down here in Louisiana for a while. Her daughter, Samantha "Sami" Deville posted here too.
Samantha (Sami) and Jessica are my 2nd cousins. Their grandfather, James Vasbinder, is my uncle. My dad, now deceased, was William "Bill" Patrick Vasbinder. My mom, now deceased, was Audrey Micas Vasbinder. My grandmother, now deceased, was Margaret Dillon Vasbinder. My grandfather died when I was still a baby so I don't remember much beyond this.
Besides my Uncle James "Jim" Vasbinder, the only other known relatives down here in Louisiana are my brother, Norbert "Bert" Vasbinder. We also have a half-brother from my mom's first marriage, Raymond G. LeBlanc, currently in Mississippi.
There are a few other Vasbinder's down here in New Orleans and the surrounding area, but none known as relatives. There are quite a few Fassbender's down here too, and I went to school with some, but none known as relatives either.
I have a daughter, Lindsey Michelle Gaudet. No other Vasbinder Boy's down here yet! But my brother and I are still working on it! lol! We're both still single (divorced) and looking!
I found some of my mom's old papers (unfortunately many were lost to a flood back in 1995) and my father's baptism record was in there.
My father, deceased, was William Patrick Vasbinder, born December 17, 1934, in New Philadelphia, Ohio, to parents, Nelson Vasbinder (now I remember where I got my middle name...lol!) and Margaret Dillon, baptized at Sacred Heart Church, 139 Third Street, N. E., New Philadelphia, OH on January 6, 1935, by Rev. Theodore Schillo. Sponsors/Witnesses were Patrick Dillon and Mrs. Patrick Dillon.
My Uncle Jim (James Vasbinder) is my father's younger brother, born of the same parents, but I'm not sure of his exact year of birth. Hopefully he will reply with more information.
Lenny Vasbinder, P.I.
