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. SAWESTGTWY@gateway.net Thanks, Sam West Lumberton, [Robeson County] North Carolina
