Hill County Genealogical Society was founded in 1982. Regularly scheduled meetings are at 6:00 PM on the First Monday of each month.

We have monthly meetings at the Hillsboro City Library, 6:00-7:00 pm, on the 1st Monday of each month, unless it's a holiday, then meetings are on the 2nd Monday. The meetings are at the Hillsboro City Library, 118 S. Waco St., Hillsboro, TX, 76645 (254-582-7385). On occasion, the meetings may be scheduled at other times or other locations having significant historical resources. The Hill County Genealogical Society publishes a Quarterly "Hill County Crossroads" for its members. Memberships are for the calendar year: January 1-December 31. For Individuals: $18 and Family: $25

The Purpose of the Society is to bring together those persons interested in acquiring and disseminating genealogical information, to promote a greater interest in genealogy, genealogical information and education, to assist individuals in searching for and compiling family genealogies, to seek and share genealogical and historical knowledge, and to preserve and perpetuate records of our ancestors and the founders of our county, state and nation.
