Every family has stories that never made it into a history book. We would like to hear yours.
Forehand and related families are at the heart of this collection. If you have a family tale, an old photograph, a letter, or a memory passed down through generations, we invite you to share it. We also welcome stories about Camden County and the surrounding Albemarle region—the places where these families lived, worked, and knew one another.
What do you remember?
A grandparent’s saying. A home that has disappeared. A school, church, farm, or business that brought neighbors together. The names behind a photograph. A story does not have to be long or polished to be worth preserving.
Tell us what you know, who told you, and roughly when and where it happened. Questions, corrections, and leads to old records are welcome, too.
