Perry County Pioneers Lineage Society
The Perry County Chapter sponsors a lineage society called the “Perry County Pioneers”. Any member of the Chapter who is a direct descendant of a person(s) who resided in the current boundaries of Perry County, on or before 31 December 1830, may become a member of the Perry County Pioneers on the acceptance of an application with documented proof of descent, and the payment of a $25 application fee. Members receive a pin and a certificate. Write to the Chapter for an application, or download here.

Special notice: The Perry County District Library in New Lexington will be building on a new wing, starting this Spring..... possibly breaking ground in late April. The construction will begin near the genealogy room, so our collection has been moved to the main level, near the reference area. The Library staff will guide visitors to our temporary location. You may check with the Chapter at perrycountychapterogs@yahoo.com, if you have any questions regarding the status of the move. We apologize for any inconvenience.
