Genealogy
My name is Veneta Aldridge
McKinney and I am your Marion County, Alabama host. I do not live in
Marion County, but grew up there. My family moved into the area in
the 1830's, so I am interested in all aspects of the history and
families of Marion County.
Our goal is to help you track your
ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical
data for the free use of all researchers.
I will try to post as much data online as
possible. We
gratefully accept contributions of raw data such as census
information, marriage, birth, death records, obituaries, county
histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would
help someone build their family tree!
Marion County was established on February 13, 1818.
At its beginning, Marion County consisted of the present day Alabama
counties of Marion, Walker, Winston, Lamar, Fayette, Pickens,
Greene, Western Tuscaloosa County; and all of present day Lowndes
and Monroe Counties, MS east of the Tombigbee. The Mississippi
counties were lost in 1820-21 when the state line became official.
The remaining counties gradually splintered off until the present
shape of Marion was formed in 1866 when Lamar became its own
county. Its name is in honor of Francis Marion of South
Carolina, general in the American Revolutionary War. Its early
county seat was Pikeville. After the counties had splintered off,
the county seat was moved to Hamilton so it could be located in a
more central location. In March 1887, the court house burned and all
documents from the time of the establishment of the county to 1887
were destroyed.
We regret that we are
unable to perform personal research for folks.
All data we come across
will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope
you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this
site.
If you would like to be
kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to
any or all of our mailing
lists
Alabama is covered under our "Southern
States" mailing list.
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.
