Calloway County Family History Book—Genealogy
The Alpha Department – Murray Woman’s Club is sponsoring, compiling and publishing a Family History of Calloway County, Kentucky. The volume will include a section for family biographies and the histories of communities, churches, schools, businesses and much more. It is the perfect companion to the Calloway County Pictorial History book. If you (or your direct ancestors) are now living or have ever lived in Calloway County, we want to include your family biography.
Ideas for writing your family biography include: the date when your family came to the county, the state or county from which your family originated, and your vocation before or after settlement here. You should include interesting stories, marriage records, children, jobs, military service, education, and organizations. Your biography should be written in the third person. Please limit biography to 500 words or two pages double-spaced at 12 font with standard margins. Any longer than this and there is a charge of 15 cents per word. Submit two copies of your biography.
Please include one photograph (current or historic) to be used with your family history (no charge for first photo but $15 for each additional photo). Separate photos of husband and wife can be combined to count as just one photo. Photos will not be returned so please send a professional duplicate (no Xeroxes). Include the names of people, the date, and caption on the reverse side of photo. Write your name and address in pencil on the back.
There is NO CHARGE for having your family history and photo published in the Calloway County history book. Please limit the entry to one family biography per household. Please allow until end of the year 2005 for delivery.
