DONATE YOUR FAMILY BIBLE INFORMATION TODAY!

The Peoria County Genealogical Society invites you to participate in the PCGS Family Bible Records Project. The purpose of this ongoing project is to collect, preserve and make available to the public, the genealogical information found in old family Bibles. All family Bible genealogical information is welcome, whether in or outside of Peoria County.

PCGS Family Bible records will be made available to the public in two places: the Peoria Public Library, Lower Level 1, Local History/Genealogy, and the PCGS website (index only). The family Bible Record may also be published in the Prairie Roots magazine.

Note: All Bible records are provided by volunteers. PCGS makes no representation that the content is complete, accurate, reliable, or error free.

Please consider adding your family’s Bible records to the PCGS Family Bible Records Project. To participate, please do the following:

  • Copy the Bible’s title page, the birth, marriage and death record pages.
  • Print and sign the Certification form giving PCGS permission to make these records available to the public.
  • Mail your Bible copies and permission form to PCGS, Family Bible Records Project, PO Box 1489, Peoria, Illinois 61655-1489. You can also email them as a PDF attachment to pcgsarchives@gmail.com.
