on the Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson History Pages
Last modified March 1, 2005
Click here to go back to the Main Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson History Page
The last several years have been pretty interesting for me. I've
gotten
hitched, we bought a house, now I'm the Acting Director of the Chesterfield
Historical Society of Virginia! I'm also busy rebuilding
various aspects of our house, and I may not get a chance to work on
the pages very often, but I'll do what I can, when I can.
I'll keep plugging away at the
Census
and Cemetery
records I have started to post, and I have several other History
Texts that I have been working on, and I have more Vital
Stats, Biographies
and Veterans Records
that will be ready soon.
Wish me luck in getting more wondrous things posted here in the near future!
