Born out of scandal and political discord, the Avondale Children's Home opened its doors in 1911. The home has operated as a self-sufficient farm, endured the hardships of the great depression and transformed from 'orphanage' to residential center. The history of the home is explored through articles, rare photos and recollections from residents dating back to the 1930's. The Avondale Youth Center, as it is known today, continues to serve children & families in Muskingum County. This look back over 100 years provides a snapshot of both the good and bad of life in the Avondale Children's Home.

This E-book centers around one of the founders of Columbus, Ohio; namely, Isaiah Vorys (1750-1834), who was was descended from his 1660 CE Long Island, New York "Van Voorhees" Dutch ancestors. The descendants of these Van Voorhees (Vorys/Voris) progenitors purportedly represent the largest Dutch family in the USA today. The author has traced Isaiah Vorys' ancestry to 1400 CE, The Netherlands, and he offers a comprehensive genealogy of his numerous descendants. Isaiah himself was a New Jersey Revolutionary War soldier who served under General George Washington. He migrated to the Columbus, Ohio area around 1808 C.E., and his descendants (including the author) and collateral relatives eventually resided in 82 out of 88 Ohio Counties throughout the past 200 years!
