It's time to send your check in for your yearly renewal of The Taylor Tracer. I know you'll all agree with me that for the $15 it provides an amazing amount of information, not only about Taylor County....but covering newspaper abstracts from all the neighboring ones as well. The Society works very hard to keep this same low subscription rate....BUT it would be really nice if you added a little bit extra each time you renew. After all it now is 26 pages each month!! (Can you imagine the hard work on John Adams part to come up with all this EACH month!!!) Also there are special categories for: Memorial donations (no set amount) Research donations " Sponsor donation $50 (all tax deductible) So do show your appreciation this time with your renewal check. THE TAYLOR COUNTY HISTORICAL-GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, INC P.O. Box 1925 Butler, GA 31006 AND if your LOCAL Library doesn't subscribe, why don't you give a gift subscription to them. That would help spread the word for anyone doing research in the West Central Section of Georgia. Pass this word around to any of your Surname Lists that involve these counties as well. They will be included in the latest PERSI also! This is the index to Genelogical Journals that is on DC-Rom as well as published Indexes in your library. Virginia
