Escambia County was organized July 21, 1821 and was named for the
Escambia River, whose name in turn comes from a Spanish word for "barter"
or "exchange."
Escambia County and St. Johns County were Florida's original two counties
with the Suwannee River being the boundary between the two.
The County Seat is Pensacola

Our goal at
Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical source
data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time,
throughout the country.
This Escambia County website need a dedicated host to make these sites
the best that they can be!
If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county
or state please view our Volunteer
Information page here and email
Kim.
(A desire
to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required)
Join our mailing
lists for researchers looking to connect and share information.
You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share
with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family!
We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Florida
is covered under the South-Eastern Region Mailing List
Remember to look around at the other
states and consider donating your source information -- every
little bit helps someone.
We appreciate
all help we can get to make
this a better site.
Anything sent to us that we use will have full
credit given
