Our goal is to
help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical
and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all
researchers.
This website
is available for adoption.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online
and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can
make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting one of
the available county websites, view our Volunteer Page for further information about us and then contact Kim.
[A desire to
transcribe data and knowledge of how to make a basic webpage is
required.]
All information you find on this site is submitted by people like you
and me, searching for their family roots. We welcome any information
you may wish to provide for the free research of others. So, dust off
those old scrapbooks you have in your attic, dig out those old
newspapers, or anything else you feel is of interest to this County,
and send them our way. We are looking for obituaries, newspaper
stories, biographies, Birth, Death and Marriage records, as well as
interesting tidbits from years gone past - the items YOU used to put
together your family trees. If you have information that you'd like to
share with us on the history of this county and its people, please send it to us and we'll make sure it gets posted online.
We
regret that we are unable to perform personal research!

Originally established as Toombs County on March 8, 1858, it was named
after Robert Toombs (1810-85) of Georgia, who had been a member of
Congress, 1845-53, and was U.S. senator, 1853-61. Mr. Toombs became a
leading disunionist, then a Confederate secretary of state in 1861, and
later was a Confederate general. In 1863, the county was renamed Andy
Jackson County after President Andrew Jackson and to disassociate with
Mr. Toombs. The county again changed its name to Wilkin County in March
6, 1868.
