Attention Researchers with Robeson Co NC Connections!
July 10th, 2001: The Robeson County Heritage Book
Project is now officially off and going. Chairperson,
Treasurer and Committees where elected and additional
Criteria was established for the Heritage Book.
Information concerning criteria, examples of stories,
and how to prepare your stories, along with restrictions
and other details will be in the brochure. So far we have
received over 450 names and smailing addresses of folks
who interested in the Robeson County Heritage Book
Project. These names have come to us via the internet,
and especially by announcements such as this on the
various Rootswebs Mailing List [ROOTSWEBS, Thank
you so much!!!].
The Robeson County Heritage Book is being written
by hundreds of people who submit stories on their
Robeson County connected ancestors. If your
ancestors were from Robeson Co NC, then we
encourage you to submit stories on your Robeson
Co NC ancestors. If you do not put your family's
story in the book then no one else probably will,
and the end result is that they will be left out of the
publication. You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar
to write a story. You can make your stories just as
simple, or just as elaborate, as you wish. You can
even take an obituary, add birth, death and marriage
dates, names of parents, list all children, and any
interesting facts and/or stories about your subject
that you would like to relay to other readers, and
especially to your children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, etc… This book will be a treasure
to all, who are interested in Robeson County, her
families.
If you are interested in this project and would like to
be placed on the mailing list to receive a brochure
[brochures should be in from the publisher by late
July], then send us your name and smailing address
to the e-mail address listed below so we may send
you a Robeson County Heritage Book Brochure.
Please do not send any stories, etc… until after you
Have received your brochure.
