Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy


This County is available for adoption.

Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.

This is a continuation of our original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and your data contributions.

If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our
Volunteer Page for further information and instructions on signing up. 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 have data that you would like to have posted on this website, please
contact us.

Any data we come across will be added to this site.
We regret that we are unable to perform any personal research for you.

Crisp County was organized by act of the legislature on August 17, 1905, and laid off from the county of Dooly. It was named in honor of Hon. Charles F. Crisp and is bounded on the north by Dooly, on the east by Wilcox, on the south by Worth and Turner, and on the west by Lee and Sumter. The Flint river flows along its western boundary. The Allapaha river and Cypress Creek water the eastern section. The county is traversed by the Georgia Southern & Florida, the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic & Birmingham, and the Albany Southern railways, all of which center at Cordele, the county seat, and give connection to all sections of the state.

The soil is sandy loam and produces cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sugar-cane, Irish and sweet potatoes, field peas, ground peas, crab and crowfoot grass, the usual varieties of vegetables, melons, berries, figs, peaches, plums and cherries. The forest timbers are some hardwoods, large quantities of yellow pine and cypress, and the lumber mills and turpentine distilleries do a large business. The only mineral product is marl.
Crisp county is in the Third Congressional district and southern judicial circuit.
