Subject: [OKOKMULG] Biographical Sketches Project
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 14:54:46 EDT


Hi everyone,

I hope your summer is going well, and that you've all had time to do some
family research. It seems that more and more databases and census records
are being put online everyday, so I'll continue to keep you updated on any
new sites I hear about...you all do the same!

We've had two projects already this summer, and have been adding all your new
SURNAMES and Family Group Sheets to the webpage. Many thanks to those of you
who have helped to add valuable information on early Okmulgee County
residents.

For the August 1-15 project, we'll be asking for BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of
your Okmulgee County families, to be added to the growing collection of
resource information on the webpage.

Nothing formal...just include what you know about your Okmulgee County
families. You may want to tell us about the first of your family to settle
in the county, or you may choose a later family to feature. Even better,
tell us something about each generation! You can also focus on an individual
person, if you prefer.

Share with us anything you know about these folks...where they resided before
coming to Okmulgee County and what caused them to relocate, where and how
they lived, if the children went to school or were taught at home or worked
to help out, if they were active in a church or community, how they were
affected by adversity or better times, and any other bits of information you
may have learned in your research.

Remember to replace the Subject line with the person or family you are
featuring. Whether you have one surname or a dozen, I'm looking forward to
hearing all the interesting stories handed down to you or that you've
discovered about your Okmulgee County families.

Thanks,
LaRae
