PFFCO was established to pay tribute to those pioneers who were in Franklin County by 1830. Each year a banquet is held to honor these ancestors and install their descendants as new members. The application fee is $20.00 plus FCGHS membership (plus the cost of the dinner/luncheon later). Members receive a pin and a certificate. Deadline for submitting your application for induction is December 31st for induction the following May, but applications for membership are accepted all year long. If you can prove that your ancestor was in Franklin County by 1830, you are eligible and invited to apply. Call or write (E-mail is O.K.) to request your membership and application forms. Please provide a "snail mail" address. Assistance is available if you do not wait until the last minute. Get your application in early! Check out the application on-line.
