Research & Genealogy
The East Tennessee Historical Society's genealogical programs are part of the backbone of the ETHS mission to preserve, interpret, and promote the history of East Tennessee. Our popular family heritage programs, First Families of Tennessee and Civil War Families of Tennessee help us record the story of Tennessee--one family at a time.

Researchers for generations to come will enjoy the opportunity to use the First Families of Tennessee and Civil War Families of Tennessee files to learn about family life in Tennessee and find their connection to Volunteer State history. Follow the links at the top left to find out more about these programs and how you can honor your ancestors through First Families of Tennessee and Civil War Families of Tennessee.
The Knox County Public Library System's Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection and the Knox Country Archives are also housed in the same building with ETHS. The McClung Collection is the best historical and genealogical collection in the East Tennessee area, and the Knox Country Archives are an important historical resource.
No matter what level of expertise you have in genealogy, from basic beginner to advanced researcher, ETHS offers a variety of lectures, workshops, and conferences throughout the year to help you expand and enhance your skill level. And age is no issue either. We believe you're never too young to start preserving your family's stories and offer children's programs on genealogy, too. Be sure to check out the links at the top left to find out more information about our genealogy workshops and conference, lectures, as well as our summer program for children.
