The Van Zandt Society was founded in 1969 with these objectives:
to strengthen the ties of kinship and fellowship between living members of the family;
to maintain unity in the family through frequent association of members in a social way;
to perpetuate the memory and the genealogy of our ancestors through genealogical research and by unifying all genealogical, historical, and biographical research necessary to compile complete and accurate family records.
