The community can discover and journey back in time to find out who their ancestors were, where they lived, and other interesting facts with the Christian County Genealogy Society. Getting their start in 1983, the CC Genealogy Society has assisted many local citizens in finding out about their true family tree. Files and records hundreds of years old have been collected and are housed in the Pence Building on the grounds of the Christian County Historical Society.

Vauna Crowder and Jeanine Biondolino are two members who have worked hard organizing these files, gaining more useful and historic documents, and then becoming the detectives who uncover names and dates that are significant to a family's history.

Sunday, August 27th, the CC Genealogy Society will host a Family Research Day from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Families can come out with their questions, names of past family members, and birthdays to uncover the family history.

The Christian County Genealogy Society will be celebrating 40 years of service and family knowledge with an open house at the Pence Building on September 10th, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Crowder and Biondolino are hopeful to have Dave Jones, Director of Archives in Springfield, as a guest speaker.

The members have struggled to find more space to fit their library of historical information, which is a good problem to have. Not only are the members finding significant dates for the community but they are focusing on four Miners who passed away with the Miner Memorial Program.

A cemetery walk usually takes place to research people's history, this time with Chuck Martins Coal Mining Museum, to honor and remember the brave coal miners in Christian County. A $10 fee will allow the whole family to experience the history.

The CC Genealogy Society is looking for volunteers to help with the many documents and research items that come through the doors. Members ask that volunteers have basic computer skills.

Vauna Crowder and Jeanine Biondolino appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
