Are you a descendent of a Leesburg (and vicinity) pioneer family? If so, we're looking for you. In fact, we're hoping to reach all of Leesburg's Pioneer Descendant families, so we can honor them in our celebration of Leesburg's Sesquicentennial.
 
The Leesburg Pioneer Certification, sponsored by the Leesburg Sesquicentennial Celebration Committee, honors Leesburg pioneers and their descendants who arrived by the time Leesburg was chartered  July 12, 1875.
 
Applications and instructions are available at Leesburg Heritage Society, South 6th Street, and Leesburg Public Library, North 5th Street, or by email at F150cert@aol.com.  Help with your application is available at Leesburg Public Library each Monday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment with the Adult Services Librarian, Carol Anderson, at 352-728-9790.  Or by contacting the Pioneer Certification Chairman, Glorianne Fahs, by phone at 787-5969 or email at F150cert@aol.com.
 
Certificates will be awarded all during the Sesquicentennial Year as your application is approved.

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Florida Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Florida, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.
