You and your family are important to Jones County and we want to publish your family's heritage in this history book. It does not matter whether you have lived here your entire life, recently moved here or just have Jones County roots or ;ties, you are eligible to participate. There is no charge to have your story published. Each family history will be allowed up to 1,000 words and one photograph at no cost. There will be a fee of 10 cents for each additional word up to a maximum limit of 1,500 words and $15.00 per picture for each additional picture submitted. You may submit more that one history.

TO SUBMIT YOUR HISTORY

Stories MUST be in a flowing narrative form, ie, write as though you are telling a story. Please submit only data that you desire published. Genealogical charts or tabular material CANNOT be accepted. To insert a date, please use the following format: Jan 1, 2005.
