Welcome to the Thomas Minor Society

The purpose of the Thomas Minor Society(TMS), a non-profit organization, is to honor the memory of Thomas Minor and his descendants, to collect and preserve genealogical records of the Minor/Miner family, and to foster a spirit of fellowship among its members. We also maintain a database of Thomas’ descendants as provided to us in the membership applications members complete upon joining the Society. Formed in 1979, TMS currently has more than 212,000 names in our genealogical database.

Corrections to the database may be submitted to the Society Genealogist.
