Franklin County Genealogical & Historical Society
Welcome to the new and improved Franklin County Genealogical & Historical Society website!
 
 
This past year we contracted with EasyNetSites to provide the society with the means to design and create content and present it to you with style. We will be better able to maintain content and share information about the society, genealogy events and programs, and local genealogy and history resources and more.
 
Not only will we have content for the general public but will also have a Members Only section with content available only to those who are members of the society. We will be sharing information about various features, content and how to use the website via the following:
 
Our newsletter the “Franklintonian” is emailed directly to those who have provided their email address to us. They can also access the Franklintonian on this new website.

"Ask Granny"© is an innovative genealogical outreach program especially designed to be presented by local Genealogical Society members at assisted-living or retirement homes or other places where seniors gather.
 
Funded entirely by small local contributions, the authors provide FREE specially formatted materials and instructions.
 
The Franklin County Genealogical Society members will use the materials to guide the seniors as they create a simple ancestral chart for themselves and for their spouses.
 
The program is very different than a beginning genealogy course. Using only pencils and paper, the Grannies and Grandpas who attend the seminars record their memories of family names, dates, and places them on a chart labeled “A Genealogical Gift to my Family.”
 
When those pages are preserved in their special gift folder, family members will never have to wonder "why didn't we ask Granny about that?" Whether the students can remember the details of one generation or six, they create an irreplaceable record of family history for their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
 
At every session, even seniors who think they will remember nothing have been able to record several generations with the help of their instructors.
