The Jones Surname Museum
Jones Surname Museum
The Jones Surname Museum traces the origin and development of the JONES surname in Wales beginning around 40 AD through the early 1600's. A self-guided panel of explanations is provided with periods of history depicted on the different panels progressively through the museum. The panels explain how events in history such as the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD and the Plague known as "the Black Death" around 1350 AD affected the development of the JONES surname.

The Joseph Wheeler Jones Memorial Library is a genealogical research library that houses approximately four hundred references dealing with Early Virginia and Kentucky history and genealogy. In addition, this library includes many early British and Welsh genealogical references. Also found in the library are books on heraldry, plus, there are explanations about the Jones Classification System, as well as a large selection of researched information concerning the JONES family lines.

The Jones Classification System classifies the numerous different JONES family lines using each family's "Coat of Arms" from England, Wales, or Ireland. These "Coats of Arms" were found in Burke's book on heraldry entitled General Armory, published in 1884.
