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.
St. Clair County was established on November 20, 1818. The county seat was incorporated
and named "Ashville" in honor of John Ash. In 1836, a portion of St. Clair County was separated to establish
Cherokee County and DeKalb County. In 1866, after the Civil War, a northeast section of the county was used to
create Etowah County.
The county was named after General Arthur St. Clair, who came to America from Scotland as an officer in the British
Army in the French and Indian War. He settled in America and served as a general in the Continental Army during
the American Revolution. He also was the only Governor of the Northwest Territory.
It has one county seat in Ashville and another in Pell City. While other counties in Alabama have multiple courthouses,
St. Clair County is the only county in Alabama with more than one county seat.
