FamilySearch.org Ambassadors

Bond County Genealogical Society and Bond County Historical Society had an informative meeting April 25, 2022 with Ellen and Greg Thorson presenting the basics of FamilySearch.org! Even with our decades of experience, we learned something new and are excited to begin using even more of the “Free Forever” website’s features and searches. Visit bondcogen.org for the PowerPoint presentation and a separate PDF handout of the FamilySearch.org Articles/Searches with a Bond County Focus, i.e. the links provided at the end of the PPT.
