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.
We hope you will consider contributing your Obits,
Biographies and Pioneer Family History.

Founded December 5, 1866
Formed out of parts of Macon, Tallapoosa, Chambers, and Russell Counties, it is named in honor of Robert E. Lee,
commanding general of the Confederate Army.
The county seat is Opelika, and the largest
city is Auburn.
The Lee County Courthouse in Opelika
was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23,
1973.
Phenix City, located in the southeastern corner of Lee County, merged with the town of Girard, located in the northeastern
corner of Russell County. To prevent the new town of Phenix City from straddling the Lee-Russell line, Lee County
ceded to Russell County the 10 square miles in the southeastern corner surrounding Phenix City in exchange for
20 square miles in the northwest corner of Russell County surrounding the unincorporated community of Marvyn. This
new territory is what forms the southern "panhandle" of Lee County.
