Are
you a descendent of a Leesburg (and vicinity) pioneer
family? If so, we're looking for you. In fact, we're hoping to reach
all of
Leesburg's Pioneer Descendant families, so we can honor them in our
celebration
of Leesburg's Sesquicentennial.
The Leesburg Pioneer Certification, sponsored by the Leesburg
Sesquicentennial
Celebration Committee, honors Leesburg pioneers and their descendants
who
arrived by the time Leesburg was chartered
July
12, 1875.
Applications and instructions are available at Leesburg Heritage
Society,
Certificates will be awarded all during the
Sesquicentennial Year as your application
is
approved.
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized
the Florida Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a
single entry
point for all counties in Florida, where collected databases would be
stored.
In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that
even
if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be
located
in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.
The USGenWeb Project & FLGenWeb Project are a non-commercial, all-volunteer organization.
