The Veteran Historical Society is working on a "Name Quilt"
project. This quilt will contain 144 blocks. This quilt will
be hung in the town hall, at the Veteran Grange and be entered in the Chemung
County Fair in the Fall of 2010. This is to ensure everyone gets
a chance to see it. Each block will contain the name (s) of Town
of Veteran residents - past or present. Cost for each block is $10.00.
The family information will be printed on material using a computer program
specifically designed for material. The ink is permanent and will
be treated so it does not run. The colors for the quilt are an off
white for the blocks bordered with a green leaf design. Order forms
are available from society members or at the town hall in the historians
office. There is a supply of forms on top of the file cabinet in
front of our printer. The forms are self explanatory and you can
even include the address where your family was established in the town
if you wish. Some of the society members are visiting their neighbors
to see if they are interested as well. Today a group of members
cut out the material and the border. The deadline for placing
orders is April 1, 2010. This has been published in the Elmira
Star Gazette, the Easy Shopper and the Broader View Weekly. If you
should need further information or have any questions please let us know.
If you want to mail your order form it can be mailed to the societies address:
Town of Veteran Historical Society
P.O. Box 134
Millport, New York 14864

REMINDER - Please remain aware of the restrictions
on posting our work on commercial sites that has been in effect
since the site began in 1996. We are finding many violations of this, whole
pages copied and pasted with no source citation or permission.These violations
are usually from people who have never bothered to thank us or donate to
the site's expenses. We publish it here free and available 24/7
anywhere in the world. There is no advantage to posting it on sites where
people have to pay to see our free gift. It separates us from the people
we help and diminshes the returns we get in exchange for our own projects.
I have already had to curtail publishing many pictures I intended to. They
show up without my name on them all over the place. They are not public
property. We want to continue to develop this site in a trusting and honest
environment without being slave labor to commercial sites. If that is not
possible, we will have to find other ways to share our work. Be moral.

Notice: I will be housecleaning off the older query pages of
the site. Most of them are outdated. People have changed email addresses
and so on, so that they can no longer be contacted. In some cases people
have submitted family histories to the query section instead of to the
family section where they are more appropriately placed. If you have queries
there that are still valid, please resubmit them using the guidelines specified
on the main page of that section. Queries
You can use the Queries partition of the PICO search engine
below to locate your own. This will happen in one week. If you do not
check the What's New regularly, you will have missed the chance to check
them. I will probably take off anything prior to 2006. |
