Old Bradford Burial Ground (OBBG) – Association members work with local community volunteers to help maintain, clean up and advise of issues arising, such as storm damage on a regular basis. The Association cooperates with the City, Friends Of OBBG and the local community on activities such as historical research of the cemetery; ground penetrating radar process; clean-up “parties”; on-going maintenance including mowing, weed removal, repair of damaged areas, tree removal; placing a monument in recognition of our progenitor, Thomas Tenney at the site of family graves; and obtaining National Register of Historical Places recognition. This project has been supported since 2000.

Genealogy – Family, Historical or Scholastic researchers with interest in the Tenney Family genealogy/history can seek research assistance, guidance, and work with the Association Genealogist as an informational resource, updating family genealogy, contributing family lineage & history to Association database and published histories. Through the genealogist, the Association maintains a database of over 7,000 listings. Publications of Tenney Family Genealogical History have been printed in 1891, 1904 and 2004. This project has been supported since 1984.
