PRINCETON – The Bureau County Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, May 24 at the Society library at 629 South Main St. in Princeton. Linda Sigmon Byrd, volunteer field genealogist and member of the Princeton Daughters of the American Revolution chapter, will give the presentation.

Her program will be entitled “Today’s DAR and You.” She will discuss what qualifies as a patriot and how to conduct a search.
