DeKalb County

Genealogy and History

Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy



This county is available for adoption.

We're looking for folks who share our desire to put data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it.

If you are interested joining our group as County Host for this website, or any of our websites, view our
Volunteer Information page and Email Kim.

A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a
basic webpage is required.

In the meantime, we'd be very happy to accept any data you'd care to contribute and would like to see displayed on this site. We're looking for "raw data" - the birth/death/marriage records, obituaries, cemetery headstone readings, biographies, county histories, census data, pensions and other military data. In short, we'd like to display all the items you used to put together your family tree (rather than the tree itself).
Email your transcribed data to us
and we'll take care of putting it online.


DeKalb County was founded in 1837. It was named in honor of Baron Johann DeKalb. A Bavarian officer who accompanied Lafayette to America in 1777. He was appointed major general in the Continental Army. At the battle of Camden, he was killed while commanding Delaware and Maryland troops.
