The Florida GenWeb Project

The USGenWeb is proud of our ability to provide you with this FREE site. It is our hope that if you have information about Lake County, you will contact me.
I will be happy to add your information. Because people are willing to help people and share their information we are able to maintain our status of the largest FREE internet genealogy group of websites. Pictures, bios, articles of interest, etc. make interesting reading for others. A new section is being added for those whose family members were cremated. If your loved one was born in Lake, lived or died here or was interred here, email me with the information. This is the only way future generations will find where our loved ones are if they are not listed in a cemetery.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

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, South 6th Street, and Leesburg Public Library, North 5th Street, or by email at F150cert@aol.com. Help with your application is available at Leesburg Public Library each Monday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment with the Adult Services Librarian, Carol Anderson, at 352-728-9790. Or by contacting the Pioneer Certification Chairman, Glorianne Fahs, by phone at 787-5969 or email at F150cert@aol.com.

Certificates will be awarded all during the Sesquicentennial Year as your application is approved.

Leesburg Scanning Project

The Leesburg Heritage Society and the Sesquicentennial Committee will collect old pictures of Leesburg for a special publication to be published by the Daily Commercial as a Commemorative Edition to celebrate the city’s 150th birthday. Original pictures will be returned after they are scanned. This is an ongoing project. Please contact Glorianne to arrange a time to meet to have your pictures scanned. There are no set times scheduled at this time.
