  1. Sumner County TNGenWeb Project - Of course I have to put my own site first. This project has been online since 1996. There are over 3,000 pages on the site. I have attempted to provide information in all areas of interest. For example, birth records, church membership lists, family histories, family photos, mortality schedules, community histories, wills, tax lists & more! My goal is to update the site frequently. This site would not be possible without the numerous volunteers. Thanks for all your contributions!

    The next top 3 are in alphabetical order

  2. Sumner County Archives- Do you want a quick response to your research request? You will get it from the employees at the Archives. Don't forget to check their online Obituary Index, On-line catalogue, and the Limited All Name Index. A word of caution about the Limited All Name Index. When you find a name this does not necessarily mean the record is about that person. It can mean it is "some way referenced in those documents." For example the person is a witness to a will.

  3. Sumner County, Tennessee Genealogists Companion- This site has been online since 2002. Don't miss it! Once you have visited Jan and Linda's site you will keep coming back. I know I do! Lots of great records including obituaries, court records, death records, marriage records (early to 1902 & lookups), photos and more! Their dedication to providing free on-line genealogy and history is amazing!

  4. Tennessee State Library & Archives - Bibliographies, County Records, Military Records, Place Names and Maps, State Records and much more! They have the online Statewide Index to Tennessee Death Records (1914 - 1925). Interested in buying microfilm? Look at the Index to the Microfilm Reels - Sumner County Microfilm.
