Violette Family Genealogy

Much of the focus of the Violette Family Association has, from the start, been on genealogy. It started with the work done by Rita Violette Lippé (VFA #1) back in the 1970s and was continued with the work by Rod Violette (VFA #12) in a computerized system. Peter R. Violette (VFA #1793) has taken over the Genealogist role and he continues to grow, update, and expand the database.

Past Research

Rita Violette Lippe (#1) did considerable genealogical research, and published a book titled “The Descendants of Francois Violet”. That book has been republished in both softcover and electronic form and is available at Amazon.com; go to the Books tab in the menu. This work presents around 9,600 names from Rita’s research.
