Many people still like to do their research the old fashioned way, by hand or, rather, in person. Best place to start is the Perry County Historical Society, located in the main branch of the Perry County Library, in Linden, Tennessee. Records have been transferred to microfiche and a reader is available to aid researchers.
Another great treasure hunt is to visit the family cemeteries in Perry County. There is a website hosted by the Tennessee Historical Society which gives a county-by-county map of the location of all the family cemeteries in a specific county, and a compiled list of the names of the families.
The Perry County cemetery listings are accompanied by a Google map to aid in a trail of family history in Perry County. If you are interested in genealogy, do not miss this valuable resource for old families of Perry County, Tennessee.
