The Tallahassee Genealogical Society is sponsoring a Leon County Heritage Book project and is seeking stories from everyone who has lived in Leon County, whether for just a week or from birth. Stories of ancestors, stories of adventure or human-interest stories are welcome. Current residents, former residents or those whose ancestors lived in Leon County are urged to submit stories and photographs. Tell the stories you remember hearing from your family or tell your own.  For more information about the project contact Deanna Ramsey, LCHB Committee Chair via email at LeonCoHBC@gmail.com or (850) 668-1418.

Target completion date of the Leon County Heritage book is December 2010. Copies may be purchased through Heritage Publishing Consultants Publisher via their website at http://heritagepublishing.net or by completing the attached form.

There's still time to get your story in print! Stories are still being accepted...

UPDATE 10/26/2009

The Leon Co. Heritage Book committee met this evening and tallied the story submissions we have for the book. 
We are short only a few and we could really use your support to make our goal. 
If you have not submitted your story please do so.

  • There is no cost to submit your story

  • All Leon County residents qualify

  • 500 words and one photo

FINAL: Story submission deadline has been extended to May 31, 2010.

Also you might want to consider purchasing the Leon County Book at the pre-publication rate of $53.75.  
A considerable savings because after it is published it will cost $65 + Tax.
