Message Board Post:

The Christian County Museum and Historical Society met this afternoon. We
decided to try to learn if there is any interest in trying to make a new
history of Christian County family. Hundreds of families with multiple
generations in the counties and/or lots of interesting history in the county
failed to submit any information on their lines for the history published
about eight years ago. This is a very preliminary inquiry. Would you or do
you know of others who would actually submit stories about your family or
families if this were attempted again. Unless numerous stories are actually
submitted, attempting another publication would be fairly useless. As with
almost all histories, the book - if it is done - will represent those people
for whom someone put the thought and effort into supplying the information.
Often, people believe the earliest, most prolific, richest, most powerful or
most influential people are those whose stories are told. However, unless a
single individ!
ual is writing the book and picking and choosing who to include, histories
of families or residents are nearly always just what those researching and
writing stories make it. No particular rules have been formulated on
submissions. We are just trying to learn whether anyone cares to send
stories before making any additional plans.

P. S. It's only three years and a few months until the county's
sequecentennial (150th anniversary) in 2009. This is a suggestion being
considered for the observation.
