PRINCETON – Michael John Neill will return to the Bureau County Genealogical Society on Thursday, June 28, as the featured speaker. The Society always enjoys a presentation by this popular professional speaker and noted genealogist. He is the author of the blog, Genealogy Tip of the Day, as well as being a keynote speaker at many workshops and conventions across the country.

For the program Neill will be speaking on “Organizing Online Research,” and the public is encouraged to attend this free program beginning at 7 p.m. in the Society library at 629 South Main Street in Princeton. He will show the audience how to be more effective in researching online and how to use good analytical processes. Neill is an engaging speaker who delivers his message in a comprehensible manner.

BCGS is also currently offering to the public a free copy of “The Complete Name Index to the Voters and Taxpayers of Bureau County, Illinois ~1877” which was compiled and published by the Society. This index will be helpful to those who have a copy of the book which did not have an index and will be given away as long as copies remain.

For further information about the program or the index stop by the library, or call (815) 879-3133. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
