The most interesting project this year was researching and ordering Revolutionary War Veteran's tombstones for the Vincent Hill Cemetery. The tombstones were for Nathaniel Fisher, Seth Hathaway, Nathaniel Richmond, Zenas Briggs, Benoni Evans, Sylvester Pitts, and Hooker Low. There are several Civil War Veterans that need replacement tombstones. These are available for all veterans at no cost from Veteran's Service Agency.

Volunteers from Ontario County Probation Department aided in the placement of the tombstones as well as resetting and repairing tombstones in other cemeteries in town. Lee Fletcher, Leo Kennerson, Daryl VerStrate and friends helped with this project as well. Their help was very much appreciated.

Volunteers for research projects and data entry are needed. Please call the Town Hall 229-2400 if you are interested.

The internet saves a lot of time when doing research, resulting in fewer trips to the library. If you go to www.rootsweb.com you will find that Shirley Simpson has input a lot of information from our family files, making it easy for you to search for ancestors any time online, or you can come to the Town Hall to get started finding your family roots.

We entertained the Ontario County Genealogy Group from Canandaigua in June at the Levi Corser Park. Afterwards a brief tour of our genealogy collections and vault were given.

We are looking forward to another interesting year. If you would like to have your family history added to our genealogy collection, it would be most appreciated. Please feel free to stop in and check out our resources or go online to www.townofbristol.org
