Hi Ann,
I just happened across the "puzzle" section of the VA web site, and
since
they are all several years old I was wondering whether they have been
answered (or if people are still interested).
Anyway, I was able to turn up some information on John Calvin VA (puzzle
#5), though I have not been, as yet, able to find out who his VA
grandfather was. I don't want to keep looking, though, if it is already
known or no longer of interest.
Anyway, I was able to turn up the following so far, from online sources:
1a. William J. Vanaken: b. 14 Jun 1885 MO; d. 15 Sep 1949 Los Angeles Co.,
CA [CADI; mother Haney] ("CADI" = California Death Index)

Hi Ann and Harold,
I have one more thing to add to what I wrote before. It would *appear*
that the mother of (4) William V/A was probably Martha Baird (and (5)
Martha A. ___ was apparently his second wife). A Martha Vanaken (b. about
1792 in PA) was living in William's household in 1850 (see below); she is
almost certainly the "Martha Baird Van Aken" (b. 1792; d. 1 Jan 1879)
buried in the Glendale Cemetery in Scott Co., IA
<http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/glendale4.htm>.
This doesn't help us
link to the data collected by Robert A. V/A, but it's one more probable
piece to the puzzle.
-Robert
8. ___ Vanaken: b. NY
9. [prob] Martha Baird: b. 1792 PA; d. 1 Jan 1879; bur. Glendale Cemetery,
Scott Co., IA ["Martha Baird Van Aken" b. 1792 d. 1 Jan 1879]
