I have 2 suggestions. First off, I'd contact the Eller Family Association, their address is http://www.eller.org/ and I'd see if anyone there can help you. I'd be willing to bet that if your father's birth surname was Vanhoy (or Vannoy or Vanoy, etc.), and that his adopted parents were Eller's, they were probably related somewhere down the line. The second thing is I suggest getting the following book (which you can get from the Eller Family Association) called George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America by James W. Hook. The book was written in 1957 and reprinted 1995. My grandma and her sister shared a copy of that book that I have used extensively in my own research and I remember there being a lot of Vannoys in it.
I don't have any of the people you mentioned and I'm not familiar with them, but I bet someone from the Eller Family Association could at least point you in the right direction. Good luck with your research.
