Welcome to the Giles County TNGenWeb site.  Our goal is to provide you with as many free genealogical resources for the county as we can.  Additionally, we rely heavily on your contributions, so we hope you will be willing to share.  Your documents, photos, treasures, etc. could end up being a gold mine for another.  

Giles County was formed in 1809 and is named after William Branch Giles.  It is located in the Middle region of the state of Tennessee and is bordered by Maury, Marshall, Lincoln, and Lawrence counties, TN  and Limestone County, Alabama.  The county name is pronounced like “Jiles.”

Please let us know how we can continue to make this site a great resource for your genealogy and family history research.  The best place to start is probably the RECORDS & DATA or SURNAMES pages.
