My name is Christina and as your Jefferson County, Alabama

data
online as possible in order to make it freely available to
all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data such
as census information, marriage, birth, death record,
obituaries, county histories, biographies, old newspaper items
- anything that would help someone build their family
tree!!
Feel free to

helps.
If you have the
desire to help transcribe genealogical data and place it

Jefferson County
was established on December 13, 1819 by the Alabama
legislature. It was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson. The
county is located in the north-central portion of the state,
on the southern extension of the Appalachians, in the center
of the iron, coal and limestone belt of the South. Jefferson
County is bordered by Blounty, Bibb, St. Clair, Shelby,
Tuscaloosa, and Walker counties. It encompasses 1,119
square miles. The county seat was at Carrollsville from
1819-21, at Elyton from 1821-73, and since 1873 has been at
Birmingham, which was named for England's iron and steel
center in Warwickshire. -Wikipedia |
