The following guidelines are for the submission of a biographical sketch of an ancestor to be placed on the Order of First Families of Mississippi web site. The biographies will be on the public pages and can be accessed by anyone browsing our web site.

1. Cost without a picture - $20.00; cost with one picture - $30.00
2. Check is to be payable to OFFM and mailed to the office in Natchez; submission is to be (preferably) e-mailed in Word or RTF format for biography and .jpg format for picture(s) to Becky Rhinehart or printed copy mailed to her. Addresses (e-mail and postal) are on Officers of the Order page accessed at For Members Only.
3. Original submission is limited to 600 words. Any additional information submitted by other member(s) for the same ancestor (and incurring $20.00 fee) can increase total biography to a maximum of 1000 words.
4. Pictures on the biography pages are limited to:
   • Ancestor, ancestor’s children or grandchildren (no more than two generations down from ancestor)
   • Historical place or event in keeping with the decorum of the website and having relevance to the honored ancestor.
   • Each additional picture incurs a $10.00 fee.
5. The biography will be presented exactly as submitted. No editing by the committee or the programmer. Please be careful with grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
6. Pictures on the front page will be only ancestor pictures and will be rotated as we receive three new pictures. Each group of three will remain on the front page for a minimum of two months and then be rotated out for three newer pictures. All pictures will remain with the biographies as long as the web site is maintained. Pictures will be formatted and sized to fit into the frames and space allowed. Placement of the pictures on the front page is at the discretion of the programmer.

Please direct any questions regarding the submission of a biography to Becky Rhinehart. (see Contact Information).
