Photos that need identified

 When working on the history books a few years back, I made a page for each person and/or family that I found from the area and was putting information about them as birth, death dates places, where lived, family members. That is all done for the people I found & the information that I found. I also have word documents with more information on the persons &/or families that we can use to double check information, etc.; these I continue to add information to. Then I have a file of photos on each family & community (Volney & surrounding communities) and these I continue to add to. I also have files of the photos that we scanned. I am working on organizing all of this to go on cd's. BUT from the history educator mentors (from history groups, universities, museums, etc.) that have been guiding us in putting together history books, they have told us over & over that we have to get more names to our group pictures to put them into any books; that just a few names won't work. I am going to try and upload to our Volney History Group Facebook site some more group photos that we scanned and hope some of you can give us names to the faces in them. Thank you all, for all your help. Please, continue to invite your family members & friends that may be able to help, that are not already members. Thank you!

Still working on when able to

 Usually the winter is the best time for me to work on the history book materials, but the last few winters I have been too busy with things that I have to do here at home. Summer is usually when I a busy with things outdoors, etc. but this year with problems with my hands not working & hand brace, I am not able to to any yard work nor heavy cleaning in house nor much typing but I can do some researching to fill in blanks and double check for accuracy on what we already have. I got most done for the original books, that we were doing research for, while sitting with Dad & Mom during their last years. The individual ones (persons) that were going to get the books finished / published have passed away before they got it done; I am hoping someone else will still get more of the books finished. In the mean time when I can, I will work on continued proofing what we have, filling in blanks, and organizing it to put on CD's for each of the Volney Book Committee Members. While doing this, I am working on what materials that we have that go into the individual family history books (as I agreed with Tammy that we had too much for the Volney books and should save some for the family history books). I have groups that we are collecting information on for these families - Gleason, Thompson, Way, Bellinger, Newville, Knowles, Giddings.

If you have information or photos please post them the the correct Facebook history group.

We are still waiting for Don to have the valve replacement to his heart surgery and I need to stay around home with him, and not being able to do much because of my hands, it gives me time to work on all of this again.
