Hamilton County Tennessee Genealogy Resources, Chattanooga

It doesn't look like I have any ancestors from Hamilton County, Tennessee. However, since I live close to this fairly old and important community, I want to learn more about it so I can help other people with their research.

Hamilton County Library Genealogy Resources
I called to see if they had resources onsite, and was told that they don't currently have a genealogy department apart from an extensive collection on the website.

Hamilton County Tennessee Genealogical Society
A very professional looking website which states, "HCTGS is an Internet based society ... to share their knowledge of Hamilton County with others on the Internet and provide a forum for fellow researchers interested in the genealogy and history of Hamilton County Tennessee."
