Georgia Genealogy Trails "Where your Journey Begins"

Echols County, Georgia                         A Proud Member of the Genealogy Trails Group Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Echols County, Georgia. 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 of course, your data contributions. If you have data that you would like to have posted on this website, please contact us. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are. If you think you might be interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information and instructions on signing up.. If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to our mailing lists Established in 1858, the county was named in honor of Robert Milner Echols (1798-1847). Echols was born in Georgia and served in the state legislature for many years. He was killed in the Mexican-American War, and is buried in Georgia--though not in Echols County. The county seat is Statenville, Georgia. Statenville is not an incorporated municipality, making Echols County one of only three counties in Georgia to have an unincorporated county seat.
