When we started with the research we kept contact via genealogical services and email. Soon after we decided to try something new and we introduced our newsletter. After 2 editions we thought it would be cool to start a web blog and keep everyone informed on the development of the research.
The newsletter brought also some nice reactions! Let us remember this once again!
Hello to each one of you,
I hereby enclose the 1st VR-newsletter, January 2007 in a new look! I hope you enjoy it.
Please know that I'm answering all the many emails I have received and editing all the received info from some of you.
I had a great time in Curacao with some descendants and will write more on this in the February edition. In Aruba I also started meeting with the several branches. At the moment we are celebrating Carnival and will have the big parade next week.
Please stay in touch! Please forward/print the newsletter to any descendants you know!
Sunny Carnival greetings from Aruba, Malaki

Congratulations on your newsletter! It looks marvelous! Your distribution list is amazing as is all of your hard work. You are truly living the Winston Churchill. Just by your distribution list I get an understanding of how much work you have done! I wish you good health and happiness in the new year and wonderful new opportunities and connections!

Bedankt. dit is een goed begin om het neiuwsbrief electronish toegankleijk te maken .Heb je al veel reacties van all over the wordl gekregen. Inmiddels zal je ook mijn post hebben ontvangen met de documenten. Het is toch onvoorstel baar hoe mensen zich over de wereld kunnen verspreiden en toch tot een groep familie kunnen horen. Ik ben ook zeer benieuwd naar de reunie van 2008. Het zal blijken, dat door cultureel en omgevingsfactoren een grote diversiteit van mensen is ontstaan die dezelfde genen delen en related zijn. OOk dat ze door hun erfenis bijna dezelfde soort talenten hebben en bepaalde beroepen uitoefenen en nog veel meer. Het zal mij niet verbazen dat er zelf afstammelingen uit azie opkomen duiken. Dit is voer voor Antropologen.Ik ben zeer benieuwd naar het eindresultaat.

I was so excited to open up your e-mail and read of this wonderful project you have undertaken. The VR/Cannegieter's are truly a very special family with so many of us scattered all over the world. I know there has always been great interest in the rich history of our family and I would gladly share any info you need for your research. I read in your newsletter that you are hoping to plan a family re-union in 2008 - that would be so amazing!! I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you in your project.
