SCOTLAND COUNTY HERITAGE BOOK PROJECT
=====================================
WE NEED MORE ARTICLES ON THOSE FAMILIES THAT RESIDED IN
THE PART OF RICHMOND COUNTY, THAT LATER BECAME KNOWN AS
SCOTLAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA ! ! !
Hi,
Our phones are "ringing off the hook"!
Due to multitudes of contacts by both e-mail and phone asking for more
time, the publisher has agreed to grant one "final" extension. THE FINAL
DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING FAMILY ARTICLES IS MARCH 31ST, 2003!
The Scotland County Heritage Book will be printed professionally and bound
in a beautiful 9 X 12 inch hard back cover.
For those who would like to submit an article on your Scotland [Richmond
County
prior to 1899] County Ancestor(s), you now have a final "window of
opportunity".
Don't let this opportunity slip by, and start working on your article now!
For all
that our ancestors have done for us before we were even born, we really owe
them a lasting tribute in this book. We must remember, that if we don't
write an article for them, then no one will do it for us, and they will be
left out.
We already have a lot of articles submitted, so don't let yours be left
out.
You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to submit your articles. You can
make
them just as simple, or just as elaborate as you want.
Article qualifications: The main subject of your article was here in
Scotland
County [Richmond County before 1899] at sometime during his or her life
[i.e., born, died, married or resided within the county]. This is a
limited
opportunity so don't miss the boat!
YOUR ARTICLE(S) CAN BE PUBLISHED FREE ! ! !
You may submit in one of two different ways as follows:
You may submit two 500 word articles with one photo each [at least one of
the two articles has to be of a subject born, married, died, or resided in
Scotland [formerly Richmond] Co NC before 1850]. The other article can be
of a subject born, married, died or resided in Scotland [formerly Richmond]Co NC anytime
after 1850.
Or,
One article at 1000 words and two photos [the main subject of the article
has to have been born, married, died or resided in Scotland [formerly
Richmond] Co NC before 1850.
If your article(s) are longer or you have more photos that the allowance,
the
cost is only 10 cents per extra word and $12.50 per extra photo. As you
can see this is very reasonable.
You are allowed to have your article(s) published free [see above for
details].
