I think there are quite a few Vanston(e) families in Canada - including all spelling variants.
And I’ve heard of the Fanston origin theory too but, again, is it just someone’s guess or is there substance to it?
PS: KGarrad: can you help me better understand RootsChat?
- Is there a guide for all the icons above this post page? eg.what does the # button do?
- Is there a way to insert a link to another user’s profile in a post, to try to get their attention? (I’d like to follow-up on points made by marmbru?)
- Does it help if I copy a link to their specific post of interest, as below? Does the owner of that post get notified of my new post?
- How can I contact someone who has only made 1 or 2 posts themselves? (I think PMs only work if they have made 3 or more posts.)
