Monroe County, Tennessee Genealogy and History Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy Hi, my name is Brenda Neely. I will be your Monroe 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 Monroe 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 Volunteer Information page and Email Kim Monroe County was founded in 1819.
