This site is under construction. If you have material you
would like to see available to other researchers, please contact Fran Smith.
Looking for someone who would enjoy doing a bit of searching for
information to add to the Broward Site. Any help will be
appreciated. You would be helping our fellow genealogists in
their quest for their families.
Do you have an ancestor
who lived in the territory of Florida before 1845 statehood? The Florida
Pioneer Descendants Certification Committee would like to hear from
you.
And if your pioneer was born in any county area before it
was officially
formed and named, a county award may also be waiting
for you.
Certificates are presented annually at the Florida State
Genealogical Society's Pioneer Banquet each Fall in conjunction with
yearly Conference events. Your application is an excellent way to
honor those folks who braved hardships to settle previously unknown
areas.
For additional information, see the website of Florida
State Genealogical Society at http://www.flsgs.org/ and
click on "Florida Pioneer" at top of page.
Don't put it off much longer!
The deadline for submission of your application and documents will be June
30, 2010.
We look forward to celebrating your Florida ancestry with you.
