Volunteers Dedicated to Free
Genealogy
This Site is
Available for Adoption
Our goal is to help you track
your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical
and historical data for the free use of all
researchers.
We're looking for folks who share
our dedication to putting data online and are interested
in helping this project be as successful as it can be.
If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view
our Volunteer Page for further information and then
contact Nancy.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic
webpage and a desire to transcribe data is
required)
We
regret that we are unable to perform personal research
for folks.
All data we come across will be added
to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope you'll
come back again to view the updates we make to this
site.
But
in the meantime we hope you will consider contributing
your Obits, Biographies
and Pioneer Family
History. Send you contributions to
Veneta.
If you would like to be kept informed
of our state and county website updates, subscribe to
any or all of our mailing lists
Alabama is covered under our
"Southern States" mailing list.
Baker County was
established on December 30, 1868, named for Alfred
Baker, with its county seat at Grantville. In 1874, the
county was renamed Chilton County, in honor of William
Parish Chilton, Sr. (1810-1871) who was a lawyer who
became Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and
later represented Montgomery County in the Congress of
the Confederate States of America. On February 4, 1861,
Wm. Chilton gaveled the Confederacy into existence, as
acting leader of the Provisional Congress. In 1942, the
U.S. Navy commissioned a new vessel the USS Chilton in
honor of Chilton County.
