Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This Site is Available for Adoption
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)
If you have
data to share then send an email to Christina .
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.
Sumter County was established on December 18, 1832. From 1797 to 1832, Sumter County
was part of the Choctaw Nation, which was made up of four main villages. The first settlers in Sumter County were
French explorers who had come north from Mobile. They built and settled at Fort Tombecbee, near the modern-day
town of Epes. In 1830, with the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, the Choctaw Indians ceded the land that is now
Sumter County to the government
Its name is in honor of General Thomas Sumter, of South Carolina.
