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 Kim.
(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.
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.
Colbert County was originally established on February 6, 1867 after it split from
Franklin County over political issues after the American Civil War. It was abolished eight months later by an Alabama
constitutional convention and then reestablished on February 24, 1870. It was named
in honor of brothers George and Levi Colbert, Chickasaw Indian chiefs. George Colbert operated a ferry across the
Tennessee River in 1790 near present day Cherokee.
The county seat of Colbert County is Tuscumbia
