Jonesborough Genealogical Society

The Jonesborough Genealogical Society was founded in 1990 by a small group of people who were interested in their family history and seeing the development of a history and genealogy section of the Washington County-Jonesborough Library.  Today, the Jonesborough Genealogical Society has grown to over 100 members and has met many goals over the years.
