Well the good news is I am back working on this site.
It has been a while and is long over due. The trouble with a web site is that it needs constant maintenance. They are like children and I thought I raised all my children. Well hopefully they are not as troublesome. As they say it takes a tribe to raise a child. It is my hope that my tribe could help me raise this site. So if any VinZant Would like to contribute to this site let me know.
Email me David VinZant.

Here is some information on
Family Tree DNA.
There is a family surname project at Family Tree DNA under the name Van Zandt which includes all the variations. Like, Van Sant, Van Zant, Vansant, Vanzandt, Vanzant, Vinsant and Vinzant. The purpose of this project is to chart a family tree using DNA markers.
Family Tree DNA will test the Y-DNA allowing you to identify your ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant on your direct male descending line. There are a number of tests ranging in price from as little as $99 up to $935 these test will check from Y-DNA12 markers to Y-DNA67. In addition the Y-DNA tests there are the mtDNA, HVR1 and HVR2 tests for females and the female lineage of males. Which also verifies possible Native American and African ancestry. Males can also take the mtDNA test.
