I don't know if I am on the right track but want to find out more about my grandmother and her family .. Her name was Elinor van Vradenburg Taylor(or Vredenburgh) .. she was born in Connecticut and her father's name was Henry adn he was a banker. I beleive that he married twice and my mother believes that there is a russian connection there somewhere. Elinor had a sister - Harriet (?) I also have a christening mug from Tiffanys bearing the name of Washington E Connor Taylor - 1883 - known to us as great uncle Washy although we never knew him. My grandmother moved to the UK and married my grandfather Capt AA Scott, RN in around 1917 but died in childbirth when my mother was 5 years old.
THey lived in a big house which was turned into a girls school - either in Milford or New Haven - sorry not sure of exact name of hte town. Can anyone help me track the family down. My mother is now very old and would dearly like to know more... Apparently my grandfather was so distraught when his wife died that he would not mention her or the family. Dinah Greek
