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.

the state by the Creek Indians.
Its name is in honor of Colonel Gilbert C. Russell, who fought in the wars against the Creek Indians.
The county seat has changed several times: Girard (1833-1839), Crawford originally Crockettsville (1839-1868),
