Your Society is on the move!
We are one of the first societies in Florida to post a county-wide burial index online;
one of the first to post our newsletters online, and one of the first to implement a
First Families program. Additional new initiatives are planned to increase the Society's
contributions to the preservation, indexing, and dissemination of genealogically
important Bay County records.
Several of these are are already underway and are continually adding real content
to our web site. Learn more on our
