Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for
the free use of all researchers.
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 are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We hope you will consider contributing your
Obits, Biographies and
Pioneer Family History.

Alabama is covered under our "Southern States" mailing list.
Its name is in honor of General Samuel Dale.
Its county seat and largest city is Ozark.
The area now known as Dale County was originally inhabited by members of the Creek Indian nation, who occupied
all of southeastern Alabama during this period. The county, together with the surrounding area, was ceded to the
United States in the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson, ending the Creek Indian Wars. A blockhouse had been constructed
during the conflict on the northwestern side of the Choctawhatchee River during the war, and the first non-Indian
residents of Dale County would be veterans who began to settle in the area around 1820.
Dale County was established on December 22, 1824. It originally included the whole of what is now Coffee County
and the eastern half of Geneva County, together with part of the "panhandle" portion of Houston County.
The original county seat was located at Dale's Court House (now the town of Daleville), but when Coffee County
split from Dale in 1841, the seat was moved to Newton. Here it remained until 1870 when, following a courthouse
fire in 1869 and the formation of Geneva County, the county seat was removed to the town of Ozark, where it remains.
