Alabama Genealogy is being developed as a genealogical and historical resource for your personal use. While the original thought was to provide this website as a resource for finding genealogy and historical data concerning Alabama on the web, we have begun adding specific data to this site for your personal use.
In an attempt to further expand our offerings and refine your search, we have begun the creation of county websites. Those county sites can be found in the list of links at the bottom of this page. While only a small portion of Alabama counties are presently listed, the amount of data for those counties is quite impressive.
