Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy


My name is Rita Morgan and as your Tipton County, Tennessee host I will try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data such as census information, marriage/birth/death records, obituaries, county histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would help someone build their family tree!!

Feel free to email me with your contributions - every little bit helps. 
Anything you contribute is owned by you and you may make corrections and changes at any time.

I regret that I am unable to do personal research but I will try to help in any other way possible
.
Data is posted to the site as I find and transcribe it and I try to add new data several times a month so check back often.   If you would like to be notified of the updates join our mailing list below.
