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.
(Enough knowledge to make a
basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is
required)
We hope you will consider
contributing your Obits, Biographies and Pioneer
Family History.
Send your contributions to
Veneta
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.

be kept informed of our state and county website
updates, subscribe to any or all of our

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.
