Conway County Photos

Through their devotion to the preservation of the History of Conway County, the Conway County Genealogical Association requests your help. In an effort to help preserve the memory of the residents of Conway County, the CCGA is requesting scanned photos whose identities may be unknown. The main idea is to create a book that may be displayed at the annual Ancestor Fair held in Conway County as well as in the Research Library. Please include any known information such as part of the name, and the date on the submission of your photos. The photos will be placed on the CCGA website as time and space permits for those whose identities in photos are unknown. The CCGA will also be making an effort to display the unknown photos in the monthly newsletter. Through our efforts and dedication to genealogy, this is the perfect opportunity to aid in the restoration of memories and faces that have been lost. For further information or submission of scanned photos please submit to efrancis@flash.net .Your time and effort will be appreciated by many generations to come. Thank you!
