Hi, I have been asked by a researcher to post the address again of where to send your membership dues to the Lawrence County Genealogical Society and the advantages to members that live in other states. The address is Lawrence County Genealogical Society, 218 N. Military Ave., Suite B-1, Lawrenceburg, TN 38464. Membership is $10 for one year, $25 for one year sustaining membership, and $100 for lifetime. If you do not live in Lawrence County or in Tennessee, this is a great way to find information on your ancestors or to get in touch with someone else researching on the same line. Each issue of our journals contains the history of one or more families, either written by one of our board or officers, or by a member (or non-member) of the society who wishes to write an article on the family they are researching. We also include original records such as transcription of early wills, tax lists, Civil War pensioners, and many other records as we transcribe them. Also included are book reviews on the latest books donated to the local archives or library on Lawrence County families or Lawrence County history. Queries submitted by members and non-members often are a good source of finding another researcher working on the same family names as you. Usually an How Do I.....article is included on how to find information in a particular record group, etc. We have a family history fair annually in June; this year June 23. Members and non-members from all across the United States can reserve tables free to display their research and pictures, while others prefer to browse the tables in hopes of finding a long lost ancestor connection. In the past, many who have attended came away with new info and pictures. The society has an on-going First Families of Lawrence Co., TN program. There are two categories - 1) Anyone who can prove their ancestor was in Lawrence Co. between 1818-1850; 2) For those who can prove their ancestor was in Lawrence Co., TN between 1851-1900. Your ancestor may not have stayed long, stayed for many years, or all his life. If he was in Lawrence County and you have positive proof of this fact and of every generation from you back to this ancestor, you can receive a certificate for $10. These applications and their proof are added for our family file folders. Kathy Niedergeses
