The LCGS was founded June 1997 and is a non-profit organization established to collect and preserve the ancestry of Lawrence County families, to stimulate and instruct all persons interested in genealogy, to develop and record historical and vital facts of the people who originated, developed and helped build our great county.  Below you will find a list of board members and officers that you may contact for information.  Also, we have many links to various other websites of particular interest to Lawrence County researchers and in general research.

MEMBERSHIP is open to anyone interested in Lawrence County genealogy and family history. Regular meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of Sept. & Mar.; 1st. Saturday in Dec. at the First United Methodist Church, located at 212 Waterloo St., Lawrenceburg, TN.*  On the 4th Saturday of June in even number years, annual meetings will be held on this date, while the Lawrence County Family History Fair will be held in odd number years. For more info on membership or the Family History Fair contact Lawrence County Genealogical Society at the address above.

Links to Joining the Society and Our Various Projects

Our society publishes a quarterly journal titled Lawrence County Heritage consisting of 38-40 pages filled with various family histories, transcriptions of wills, marriage records, tax records, queries, book reviews, Bible records, pictures, diaries, etc.  Jim Crowder is our editor and does a wonderful job.  (Many thanks for a job well done from everyone who enjoys our journals!!)  Kathy Niedergeses is the assistant editor. Below you will find links to the table of contents for many of our past issues of the journal. Back issues can be ordered by contacting the society through the Lawrence County Archives.  We will be continuously adding links for our issues up to current time as we are able to.  I want to give a special thank you to the members who have prepared a synopsis of our table of contents in the past: Irma Kaslow,  Patricia Milnes, Lila Gobbell; and our current volunteer: Susan Beeler Anderson.  

 The society has an excess of many of these issues, and has decided to sale these at a reduced price. Issues Vol. 1, #1 through Vol. 10, #2 below can be purchased at $1.00 plus postage. Our more current issues, Vol. 10, #3 through Vol. 12, #4 and upward, are not on sale yet, but might be later. The price for the later issues is currently $3.50 per issue or 4 issues for $10.00. If you decide to purchase any of the issues listed, please contact the society at lcarchives@lorettotel.net (or at the above address or phone number) so we can determine the postage. Please include your zip code, since the postage fee will depend on weight and where the package is being shipped. (**Vol. 5, #1, Fall 2001, and Vol. 5, #3, Spring 2002 have sold out, but we will make copies of the pages on a good copy machine and mail for $3.50 plus postage.)
