The Fayette County Genealogical & Historical Society has announced the logo for its Fayette County Family History Book – a sketch of the Vandalia Statehouse within the outline of Fayette County.

Brochures are being printed and addressed, and will soon be in the mail.
The brochure gives samples of actual Fayette County family histories for residents to read.
