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 hope you will
consider contributing your Obits, Biographies and
Pioneer Family History. Send your contributions to Veneta
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

Indian language, which means "edible tree." It is the
center of the 'Gadsden, AL, Metropolitan Statistical
Area' which includes Etowah and Cherokee Counties. Its
county seat is Gadsden.
In area, it is the smallest
county in Alabama

County
Etowah was
originally the southern part of DeKalb County; however
Baine County was established on December 7, 1866, named
for General David W. Baine of the Confederate Army, with
its county seat at Gadsden. The county was abolished in
1867, but a year later, Etowah County was created from
the same territory.
