Volume 68 will be a combine index of all 67 volumes. You can play an important role in the unique Heritage of Jefferson County book by helping in the development and publication of this important book. We invite all those interested, current residents, former residents, and anyone that had roots in Jefferson County, even if you live in the county for just a day or so, to write a family story up to 500 words and submit it with or without 1 photograph to be published FREE of charge. And if you had roots in Jefferson County before 1891 you may write a family story up to 1,000 words with 2 photographs to be published FREE of charge. Or maybe a story about anything in the community, like your school, church, drug store, 5 & dime store, what kind of games you played or a funny story that happened to you or someone in your family that you would like to share, etc., up to 500 words with one photograph, also FREE of charge. The first part of each county book will be devoted to the history and development of the county you write about, but the bulk of the book will be about families, their heritage and contributions to the county and if they were in the county they did make some kind of contribution. This is a good way to write a family history and have it published Free when you do not have enough material to have your own book printed and this is your chance to write the history your grandchildren and their grandchildren will read one day.
