Genealogy and History
Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
Hi, my name is Brenda Neely.
I will be your Blount County Host as you travel though time, back to
when our ancestors, secured their place in our history. No one is ever
forgotten as long as one person remembers. That's what we're here for, to
clear the paths and remove the walls of mystery, that surrounds our past.
With your help we can make this a one stop site for anyone researching
their family ties to Blount County, Tennessee.
I'd be very happy
to accept any data you'd care to contribute and would like to see
displayed on this site. We're looking for "raw data" - the
birth/death/marriage records, obituaries, cemetery headstone readings,
biographies, county histories, census data, pensions and other military
data. In short, we'd like to display all the items you used to put
together your family tree, rather then the tree it self. You may contact
me , and I'll be
happy to place your data on line as soon as possible.
We're
looking for folks who share our desire to put data online and are
interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it. If
you are interested joining our group as County Host for any of our
websites, view our
