Vallie Weethee Records!
Hello All, I had the most enjoyable meeting last night with Nancy Baker. Nancy is Vallie Weethee's daughter. She brought with her a huge box of Vallie's original manuscript, updates to his original manuscript, the original copy of his second book on Scottish origins and literally hundreds if not thousands of documents, letters, files, pictures, newpaper clipping and research documents. I plan on scanning everything that she gave me, which may take several months as I am working and going to college full time as well. Once I have everything scanned, I plan to catalog and inventory everything. After that, I will record all the information into a database. If anyone is interested in helping with these huge tasks, I would send a CD with all the scanned records to you and coordinate the sorting and cataloging and database entries with interested parties. I am simply overwhelmed by Nancy's generousity and williness to entrust me with her father's life's research. Thank you so much Nancy, I'll hope other family members will be a thrilled to discover all the data Vallie worked so hard for so many years to accumulate. After reading a few of his letters, it is apparent to me that family genealogy was one of his passions.
