Bucks County Recorder of Deeds, Dan McPhillips, who partnered with Bucks County  Genealogical Society President, Mary Bustash, have been awarded a $5,000 grant from the  Bucks County Foundation. 

Earlier this year the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds partnered with  the Bucks County Genealogical Society to apply for a grant benefitting the Historic Deed Book Preservation  Project. The grant is through the Bucks County Foundation, which is a philanthropic organization that serves the  people and places of Bucks County. This grant, in the amount of $5,000, was awarded in April. 

While partnership between the Recorder of Deeds office and the Genealogical Society may not seem logical  to some, it is a fruitful endeavor for both. One of the ways to trace family history is through deed books. Having  the deed books preserved can make genealogy research a bit easier. It really is a win-win situation for both establishments.  

Executive Director of the Bucks County Foundation Mandy Mundy says, “Bucks County Foundation is proud  to serve as a grant partner for this important and timely historical project as this cause holds both historical and  educational value.”
