The Bond County Genealogical Society News Quarterly began publication in March 1982 and continued uninterrupted through Spring 2011. After a few short years’ break, a fresh newsletter committee rebooted The B.C.G.S. News in a twice-yearly format, combining both Genealogical and Historical Society news and interests. The first volume of the new format Newsletter was published January 2014.
