Genealogy Center provides links to 50 genealogy sites
The Knox Historical Museum's Genealogy Center's Nancy Hampton has provided a link to 50 free genealogy sites.
These links were compiled by FamilySearch, which is a genealogy organization operated by the Genealogical Society of Utah, the genealogical arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Slight modifications have been applied to update a few of these links.
The links provide resources to find birth, marriage and death records, obituaries, cemetery listings, newspaper articles, biographies, research tips and more.

What Our Patrons Have to Say...
I live at least 3 hours away, but woud live to make the trip if I knew that the information you have is on my West family. would it be possible for someone to send me some names? thank you so much. Linda Gibson
I did not realize you had a website until I received the current issue of the Knox Countian. Susan Arthur was my aunt.
Just wanted to let you know that I found a list of postmasters on line that included my ancestor Ambrose Arthur, who served as postmaster at Flat Lick between 1848-52. List is at
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyknox/Postmaster.html#Flat
This list includes all postmasters from Knox County.
I would love to see the resurrection of the Christmas Party that was so enjoyable. My mom, Janice Potter Trent, was very active during that time. I truly miss the mingling, the great food we all prepared, and the stories told. Please consider doing this again. Thanks!
