Information on my lineage was taken from: Whitney Genealogy by Fred Farnham Whitney (given to me as a child by Viva Dodge Whitney, my great grandmother). My grandfathers wife goes up for her family reunion every year to Vermont, and when we would go we would visit my great grandmother. We however never have a reunion. My grandfather doesn't remember having once since he was little. We sort of had one when my great grandmother passed away. I met my grandfather's brother and sister, and numerous cousins and family. I was told I had met some of them before but I was so little that I had not remembered any of them. This was only a few years ago and now I'm in my twenties so it was a joy to meet them even under the circumstances. My grandfather also took us around to his grandparents' house and the farm he grew up on. The woman happened to be home and so she allowed my grandfather into the house, along with my dad, my uncle and I. I kind of tagged along. The woman bought it from the man they had auctioned it off to years ago. She found our genealogy in the local library and was trying to restore the house. My grandfather was a huge help since the house had been renovated he knew what it had originally looked like. The woman and her daughter took notes the entire time as he talked about the house, and as far as I know he still keeps in touch with her. The area is now called Whitney Hill, and the road leading to it is Whitney Hill Road. There is some information about Whitney Hill Cemetery on this site along with a photo, and the cemetery is at the very beginning of Whitney Hill Road. One day I'm going to get my grandfather to take me back so I can take some professional looking photographs myself. I had a camera that day but I was so in awe to be able to see all of that, that I didn't take as many as I would have liked.
This is the info pulled about my great grandfather from the except I found on your website about our genealogy I own:
