As we go through what we have this winter, I am posting names of ones that we would like more information & pictures on for the books on the Facebook Volney History Site. Please check that site to contribute.Thank You! Nellie Dezinski

Write-ups for the Volney & Surrounding Area History Books... if you have a write-up for the book, contact me & I will let you know where to send it. We are working on 3 books
- up to 1910
- 1910 up to 1960
- 1960 up to 1985
If your family lived in the area during these times you can submit (contact me as to where to send it)
- an individual or a couples' write-up - life story or
- a family write-up - family history &/or family tree
We have a Book Committee that has been working on gathering materials for these books for about 3 years now. We will start meeting next summer to see what we have & pull the books together. It has taken us longer than we thought to get everything collected, but people also have family & work responsibilities, etc. & haven't been able to get things to us as we had hoped, but with the delay we have had others join our group & given us materials that we would not have had for the books if we had published them earlier.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IS CONTRIBUTING TO THESE HISTORY BOOKS!
We plan to do a scanning of pictures for the books in May at the Hesperia Library if anyone needs their pictures scanned.
Any questions about the books you can ask Tammy Bromley or me.
I HAD PLANNED ON SENDING OUT PERMISSION FORMS TO ONES THAT HAVE ALREADY SENT ME THEIR ADDRESS, BUT WITH EVERYONE BUSY WITH CHRISTMAS & CHRISTMAS MAIL, I AM THINKING THAT I SHOULD WAIT UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS TO SEND THEM OUT. Sorry, for taking so long to get them ready to be sent out. I've been so busy checking dates & locations on individual/couples/family stories for the books. Information that we get/find often has different dates & places for births, marriages, deaths, etc. & we want to get the information as correct as we possibly can.

Please Help Identify Pictures for History Books!
Please, help identify pictures for the history books! Does your family have ties to Volney, Michigan & that area? If they do, please look at the old pictures on the Volney History Site - https://www.facebook.com/groups/Volney.Beaver.History/?ref=group_header
and see if you can help identify the people in the pictures.
Thank you.
and see if you can help identify the people in the pictures.
Thank you.
- The biggest job at this time, in getting the books finished, is getting these pictures identified.
- September 30, 2017 was the cut-off date for accepting write-ups for the 3 volume books. Now the book committee has to pull together everything that was turned in.
- If you still have something that did not get turned in for the books or have any questions, contact Nellie Dezinski. Thank you.

About the Volney Family History Books
1. We have set up a special group site with all the university professor grant groups that have been saving information sent into them (at the e-mail addresses that we asked you to send information to) so that they can upload what everyone has sent them into the correct file for the correct book volume. Each of these groups works with teachers on helping them create books from a different history time-period, the groups do not know each other & are not connected. But with this new group, we can have them all upload what everyone has sent in & Christian Michal Livingston (Christina & Michal Livingston) can start putting the books together.
2. The new updated software that we now have has automatically updated all the pictures with names that Nellie did a couple of years ago for the books, so we have the pictures & names & now just need to add the write-ups into the books. If you have any additional pictures, just get them to Nellie and if & where there is room, they can be added to the books.
3. We are looking into having the 3 volumes packaged together where you can purchase them in a set. We are also looking into setting up a blog to promote the books. Plus, additional books are in the plans.... the first families of Volney/Beaver. Nellie is collecting pictures for these also. Shaun Hill & Tammy Bromley are always working on family history books and those books are always outstanding, I got to see some of them the last time that we were in Michigan; they have already done several great books. You will have to contact them about their books. Tammy Bromley& Nellie are collecting pictures, etc. for an "all the Gleason" & "all the Giddings" books; Nellie & Hugh Conley are collecting pictures & information on "all the Newville's: Nellie & Scott Hall are collecting pictures & information on "all the Knowles" book; Nellie is working with different ones on "all the Thompson's" book and she is also working with different ones on "Way, Bellinger, Sanders, Harmon, Redman/Redding, & Dove" books. We will be helping put together all the history books that Nellie is working on & getting them ready to go to the publishers. The family history books that Nellie is working on will be put together after we finish the Volney History Books, but it has taken a few years to gather the materials & signatures for the Volney Books so they need to be gathering materials now for the family books. Thank you for everyone that is helping with these books.
4. We are also working now on having the above-mentioned books when they are published to be given to area libraries & schools. We are working on having funds for this purpose.
5. Please, read the information at the top of the Volney History Group page carefully to ensure that your write-ups & pictures get into the books. If the above is not followed, it will not go into the books. These sites will only collect materials until the end of this month. We will not be posting much on this site on the books after Sept. 30 & most everything about the books will be deleted after Sept. 30. All pictures should be from before 1985 or of person's who have passed away. Thank you.
