PLEASE NOTE:  The original Bucks County Genealogical Society was formed in 1981, and at its peak had 850 members.  In recent years, the original society became inactive.  The Society now being formed is a new Non-Profit Pennsylvania Corporation and is not affiliated in any way with the former organization.  We'd like to acknowledge the members of the former Society and thank them with deep respect and appreciation for all their hard work spanning decades.  They were prolific in their production of books and other tools which Bucks County genealogists will use for years to come, and they are role models for those of us now ready to continue this important work.  We salute you!!
