The Haywood County Genealogical Society was organized in October, 1990.   We have a membership that averages about 100 including many out-of-state members.   We plan our meetings with interesting programs, historical studies, and an annual "open mike" night in November where we talk about the new things we discovered during the year or show off Great Aunt Bertha's antimacassars!  We sponsor educational workshops independently, and with neighboring societies.  We hope you enjoy our site.
