What Happened?
NewsWhere did everything go?

Beginning in late summer, we were the subject of an escalating series of hacker attacks from outside of North America. The malicious attacks attempted to add porn links and disable good content. In October, we got blasted three times within 24 hours.

Basically, we lost 95% of our content.

We immediately began rebuilding. The Photo Gallery is 80% restored but we still have to add captions to scores of photos. The Ancestral Charts are intact and are available. The Articles will take a lot longer.

Visit us often as we restore our content and add new Vaughan information along the way. If you were a Contributor in the past, please send us your name again, We'll recognize it and we'll be very happy to post it again. If you sent in family photos, please re-send captions.

We apologize for the inconvenience and we will do everything in our power to have the site fully restored as soon as possible.

Over 51,000 different people have visited our website and several hundred of you have been kind enough to send us emails with new content, support and thanks for the information this past year. Maybe that's why we were targeted.

Until further notice, we are not accepting members even though you may have been a member in the past. Sorry.

We urge all of you to re-examine your own defenses against hackers. We thought we were okay but we were wrong. Make sure your websites are protected as much as you can.

Meanwhile, please visit our personal family website in the interim.

Why We are Here
Years before the personal computer age began, we gathered considerable information in hard copy format on many VAUGHAN lines. Much of the time, those lines were not related to ours. Not wanting to waste all that information, we kept it hoping one day to be able to share it with those who could use it. With this site we intend to post everything we have found. There is a tremendous amount of information to be entered and we will post new data on a weekly basis.

Occasionally we have met other VAUGHAN researchers who had family trees and pictures but did not have the ability to publicly present them. With this site we offer an opportunity for others to share their names and pictures with all other researchers. We do not promote nor exclude any VAUGHAN lineage. If a line is not represented, it is because we have not yet loaded it.

We invite data and photo submissions of VAUGHANs and links to other VAUGHAN genealogy-based websites. We encourage comments regarding the articles and your messages will be answered personally within 24 hours.

If you have any suggestions for improving the site or adding additional articles, please share those thoughts with us through the Contact Us.

We are committed to maintaining and expanding an informative and entertaining website centered on the VAUGHAN name and lineage.
