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.
We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. If you have transcribed data that you would like to have posted on this website, please send it to us.

If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to our mailing lists



This Site is Available for Adoption!

We are looking for a coordinator for this site. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as helpful and useful to researchers as it can be. If you are interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page  for further information and contact Kim.

Located in east-central Oklahoma, Pittsburg County, created at 1907 statehood, incorporates 1,377.85 square miles of land and water. Because of the county's early coal production, leaders suggested the name Pittsburg, referring to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, comparing the county's large coal quantity to the northern state. The county borders McIntosh County on the north, Haskell and Latimer on the east, Atoka and Pushmataha to the south, and Hughes and Coal counties on the west. At the turn of the twenty-first century Pittsburg County's incorporated towns included Alderson, Ashland, Canadian, Crowder, Haileyville, Hartshorne, Indianola, Kiowa, Krebs, McAlester (county seat), Pittsburg, Quinton, and Savanna.
