Dear Fulton Co. Listers, Several of you, like Gloria, have recently come up with the same great suggestion, namely, the addition to our website of "new, homemade biogaphies" for our Fulton folk that WE can write and post for others to read, based on what we have learned about them. Gloria explains this project very well when she writes: "As far as I have been able to find, neither set of my Fulton County great great grandparents nor my great grandparents (who were married there and lived there many years) have been written up in any of the bios. In such a case, would it be of interest for me to write up bios on these couples for the website? I've collected quite a bit of material on them from census, cemetery records, marriage records, etc." So, please take your time, and write and send me biographies about the early Fulton folk YOU know the best. You can include photos (people, graves, homes), facts, stories, and your family's memories of the person. Try to include dates, townships, related surnames, military/occupational/church connections, etc. As for style, please write them in paragraph format with complete sentences, similar to the way the book bios are written, but feel free to be creative with content, like funny stories. Then I will build a special "Fulton Folk as We Know and Remember Them" bio page, with a surname index and everything just like I am doing for the published "book bios" pages. This should be a fun project, and one that we can use to say "thank you" and "we will never forget you" in a very personal way to our own ancestors and relatives. NOTE: To help me keep each project organized, please put NEW BIO in your subject line (in caps) when you submit these to me, and include in the message the "submitter" info as you want it posted. Examples: submitter: a descendant submitter: Jim K., a descendant submitter: Jim Knowles, his great-grandson submitter: J.K., a descendant submitter: a relative by marriage My point is that you can remain anonymous, or name exactly who wrote the bio, or have whatever abbreviated name you want posted as the author. Just please tell me your preference for this. Thanks, have fun, and please feel free to submit as many "homemade bios" as you want! Yours, Alice

I am nearly finished with my first bio. Would you like me to mail it to you directly, or send it through the list?
