About this ebook
The present Vandal family dates from the marriage, in 1893, of Isabella Jemmott to George Larsen Vandal. There is some mystery concerning the history of our family before that date. Less reputable family members, occasions or incidents were not spoken about in front of the children. Several unusual family stories have been circulated but since the older members of the family have now passed away there is no longer a chance of substantiating these stories. Therefore, to complete the Vandal family picture we have to start from a known fact or date and dig through the sparse, existing parish records and the more comprehensive Statutory Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths to make our family tree and our family history as accurate as possible.
Rob Vandal
Rob S. Vandal was born in 1939 in Paisley, Scotland, the middle son of the youngest member of the family of Grandpa and Granny Vandal. He left school at the age of 15 and had a variety of employments including labouring for a drilling firm at the oil terminal at Sullom Voe in the Shetland Isles. After reading English at Strathclyde University in Glasgow he spent twenty-five years teaching English, including creative writing, to pupils in a local authority Secondary School. When he retired, to keep himself active, he began to research the history, and to some extent the mystery, of the Vandal family. This book is his interpretation of the data collected during that research.
