Welcome to
Pickens County Alabama
Genealogy and
History |
Volunteers Dedicated to Free
Genealogy
My name is Veneta McKinney and I will be your Pickens County
host. Unfortunately I am not from Pickens County - I am from the
Marion/ Lamar area. If you have a love of Pickens County history and
would like to host this site, please let me know and I can
turn it over to you.
I hope to transcribe as much data and get it online as
quickly as I can. If you have anything you wish to share, please
don't hesitate to send it in. 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)
As you are doing your research,
don't forget to check out our national items on the front page of
the Genealogy Trails website. Very interesting reading!
CHECK BACK OFTEN AS WE ARE CONSTANTLY UPDATING
We are sorry that we don't have time to perform personal
research.
Any data we come across for this county, will be
placed on this site. To be kept notified of our website
updates, be sure and join our MAILING LIST We do it by regions -
join as many or as few as you're interested in. This is where we
notify everyone of updates and changes.

destroyed by fire on November 16, 1876.
