Hi Ruby: Thanks for your questions. Yes, you may submit stories about families who were in the original Warren County and Coffee County. There is also provision for "Pioneer" articles. More about that later. For now lets clarify that there are TWO separate books being prepared; Coffee County, TN Heritage - 2004, and Warren County, TN Heritage - 2004. Just to review our mission statement; there will be heritage books printed for BOTH counties. Not combined, but separate distinct hardbound books for each County! Many folk will be able to participate in both books. Great! Eligibility is simple, 500 words and one photo FREE if: a) You live in Coffee or Warren Co. b) You used to live in Coffee or Warren Co. c) You have roots in Coffee or Warren Co. (maybe never lived there) Since each household is welcome to submit material, we encourage folks to become creative... invite brothers, sisters, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and (most importantly) children to submit stories & photos. Each of these folk will also be given 500 words and one photo, FREE). These books are a part of the prestigious "Tennessee County Heritage book series". Nearly THIRTY of these beautiful volumes have been published during the past 15 years. Samples of other Tennessee books may be seen at local Coffee and White county libraries Thanks to all who have e-mailed for info. We will have an e-brochure and hard copy in the very near future. For now, you may want to see examples of family stories and pictures.

Is this Book going to be Coffee County and Warren County? Or is it okay if I put something about someone that was in Warren County in the early 1800's then was in DeKalb County after it was organized? I am looking forward to hearing more about this.
