Can anyone tell me how to get info about books being compiled by counties in GA? I am interested in sending family stories but need to know which counties are working on a book, addresses, and submission deadline dates. Are the Floyd and Gordon Cos. still open for stories? If so, where do I send stories? Melba --- "D. Scott Dingler" <[email protected]> wrote: > Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 08:31:17 -0400 > From: "D.
