| Submit a Family History for Upcoming Jesup History Book! |
A new Jesup history book will be published in the near future for Jesup's Sesquicentennial celebration in 2010. The book will be titled "A Community Tapestry Continues." If you did not submit a family history for the first history book, "A Community Tapestry," now is your chance to do so. If you would like to update the family history from "A Community Tapestry," you can also do that on this page. Everyone who feels Jesup is their home is eligible to have their family history in the book. Family pictures may also be submitted. If you do not have a family portrait, call Reflections at 319-827-1128 and ask for the Sesquicentennial Special to receive a free portrait session.
