“Lanark County Legends”

This is the newest book undertaken by Lanark County Genealogical Society. It is a celebration of the lives of over 80 people from Lanark County who made a difference. They were ordinary people who achieved extraordinary accomplishments. Some of them were people whose foresight built their community here in the County. Others left as opportunities presented themselves and went out to make their mark upon the world. This book has involved many authors and thousands of hours of research with references being carefully noted. The stories are almost all collected now. Completion of editing and assembling of the book is the next step. A member has offered to create an index. Then it will be sent to the printer.
