ABOUT US

The Williamson County Genealogical Society was founded in April 1981 and is a non-profit organization.

WCGS was formed for the following purposes: 
  • To create and advance an interest in genealogy.
  • To aid individuals in their genealogical research and compilation of family histories.

To assist with these goals the society is dedicated to: 
  • Gathering and preserving genealogical and historical data
  • Maintaining a genealogical research library through purchases, contributions, donations and exchanges of books, periodicals, microfilm and electronic media;
  • Publishing a quarterly periodical entitled "The Chisholm Trail"; 
  • Offering educational opportunities in the form of lectures, classes, and seminars.
