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.
