The Tennessee Genealogical Society is pleased to announce a new addition to our website.  

As part of our recently formed Tennessee Partnership Program, we are releasing the Tennessee County Database. This data-base can be accessed from our Tennessee Research Tab and will be open to anyone visiting our site. The database has been designed to provide basic genealogical information and lists of available resources specific to each county in Tennessee. Conceptually, this database should provide each research-er with a centralized starting point for examining any county in Tennessee.

We have completed pages for over half of the counties, and we are working diligently on updating the balance as soon as possible. You can access a county by either clicking on the county   shown on the Tennessee map or by selecting it by name from the alphabet-ized list below the map.  Finally, there is a link to the Tennessee County Formation Data from the Newberry Library.

We want this database to be as accurate as possible and to grow with the needs of the society and of our researchers.  

Please send any corrections, additions, or suggestions to TCD@tngs.org.
