Jernigan Genealogy Headquarters
Welcome! If you are seeking information on a Jernigan ancestor, we are here to help!
On the Jernigan Genealogy Homepages site, you can access the current Jernigan Genealogy Homepage which is a monthly publication, as well as past issues which are archived on the site (soon to be in pdf form.) The homepage has sections for information exchange, inquiries, updates, reunions and other websites - all geared towards helping Jernigans in the search for their roots and branches.
Well over 100 Jernigan researchers are listed on the Jernigan Researchers site. Here you can find information on how to contact our researchers and from which line of Jernigans they descend. All are quite happy to help you with their lines. Want to be added to the list? Email Sharon Tingley.
Looking for a photo of an ancestor? We have a listing of people who have photos of their ancestors and how to contact them for a copy if you wish. The Jernigan Photo Album would love to add you and your ancestors as well! Check it out!
Ever wish you could find a library with nothing but Jernigan related publications? Well the Jernigan Bookshelf is probably the closest things you will ever find to that. It is a helpful listing of newsletters, books, bibles and references on the Jernigan family.
There are so many great websites with genealogical information for the Jernigan researchers and we have compiled a number of them here for your quick reference.
Many Jernigans have fought for our freedom in this country. A listing of them can be found on the Military Records page as well as how to research your military ancestors.
Ever dream of living in an old English castle? Well some of the early Jernegans did. See their home sweet home (or should I say castle sweet castle) at the Somerleyton Estate site.
Jernigans are known to be excellent cooks and company. For lots of excellent food, laughter, storytelling and just plain downhome fun, make sure you don't miss any of the upcoming reunions near you!
Resources every genealogist should have when digging up their roots are listed here. From birth to death you'll find many of the tools you'll need to do a thorough search.
If you have any requests, information, suggestions, comments etc., please feel free to Contact Us! We always love to hear from our visitors.
