The Christian County Genealogical Society is celebrating 40 years of service this Sunday from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Pence Building on the grounds of the Christian County Historical Society. To celebrate, the Genealogical Society will open their doors for an open house. Enjoy cake and refreshments while taking a journey through the halls and library, filled with Christian County history. A guest speaker, Stefanie from the Sangamon Valley Collection in the Lincoln Library will come out to share some history of Central Illinois.
Vauna Crowder and Jeanine Biondolino have worked tirelessly to ensure the collection and filing of one-of-a-kind documents that will mean the world to a family member trying to uncover their history. Biondolino got her start with one of the first classes of genealogists in 1984.
1983 was the first year of service for the Christian County Genealogical Society. Jeanine Biondolino was one of the trailblazers who looked to preserve the history of Christian County.
The hard work of collecting, sorting, and investigating the many historical documents that link community members to their past is what has kept the Christian County Genealogical Society useful for so long.
Head to the Pence Building and join the Christian County Genealogical Society, located near Illinois Route 29 and 48 on Morrison Drive in Taylorville to celebrate their 40 years of service, preserving the history that would be forgotten without the diligent work.
Vauna Crowder and Jeanine Biondolino appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
