Welcome!

This part of the Avent website contains detailed information on individuals and families, as well as photos and other features. Browse through the menu on the left to see for yourself. (Click 'Surnames' to browse the surnames on the site.) You might want to start with the founder of the Avent family in America, Col. Thomas Avent. Each individual's page has a section at the bottom with notes and sources. These notes come straight from my own notes, so some may be a little cryptic. Judge for yourself how reliable my sources are and if my interpretation is correct. Registration is not required to use this site - you only need to register if you wish to download a GEDCOM file of the data contained here.
