Research
A search will be made by Society volunteers* of ONE SURNAME or ONE PERSON or a SINGLE ORGANIZATION** for one hour at the Blount County Public Library. Our Family Files (Genealogy) collection and the Will Parham genealogy collection at the Blount County Public Library are among the available resources. Your search must have a Blount county connection.
*Presently, a small volunteer group meets once a week to process requests and do other society business;
therefore, please be patient as we process your order.
**Organization can be a specific church, school, business, etc.
