The Bombay Genealogical Society of Franklin County, New York, is Formed

The following excerpt is from an article in the October 9, 2010 edition of the Press Republican.

BOMBAY [Franklin County, New York] — The Bombay Historical Society is branching out into genealogy with the formation of the Bombay Genealogical Society.

The new Genealogical Society will fall under the umbrella of the Historical Society but will function with its own elected officers. It is hoped that younger people will join the effort and carry on into the future.

“Part of our problem is our members are aging and can’t do everything they used to do,” said Latulipe. “We want people to be aware of the pioneer families and community members that have lived here, but it will take some time and research.”

Latulipe said that for a small, rural community in very northern Franklin County, the Town of Bombay has had quite a few famous names connected to it.

Anyone interested in joining the Bombay Genealogy Society can call Latulipe at 358-9994 or Gail Laduke at 358-4649.
