Gleanings IndexThis is a featured page


Over the years FVGS members have volunteered to go through old local newspapers and sift out local names and events, transcribing and printing them in newsletters each issue. All this was done in an effort to help researchers find surnames they might be interested in from the area.

Now in an effort to make life a little easier, we are putting these "Gleanings" online. What you will find in this database is a list of surnames alphabetized along with the information needed to find the article of interest in the newspaper. We recommend that you contact the local respective libraries for any copies you might be interested in. Remember this is only an index and is a work in progress.


Please use the new combined list on our new page (May 2010): Gleanings A-Z
