We’re Back!
After a much-too-long hiatus, Wiregrass Genealogy returns—refreshed, renewed, and ready to serve. Returning visitors will notice a new look, and for those discovering us for the first time, welcome to “Wiregrass Genealogy by Wiregrass Descendants.”
We are a small but dedicated group of Wiregrass descendants who freely donate our time and expertise to assist others researching their Wiregrass ancestors. Our shared goal is to preserve, document, and make accessible the rich genealogical history of the Wiregrass region.
This site features a growing collection of pioneer sketches, church meeting minutes, cemetery surveys, periodicals, helpful links, and more. One of our most valuable resources is our interactive Forum, which is moderated and administered by our senior contributors. These experienced researchers bring decades of genealogical knowledge and a deep understanding of the Wiregrass area.
To protect this resource from spam, forum participation requires approval. Those wishing to join the discussion are kindly asked to complete the Request for Forum Access form—just follow the instructions provided.
Wiregrass Genealogy is a living resource that will continue to evolve, so please visit often. We also welcome new contributors and encourage you to consider submitting family sketches, surveys, or other documented materials. We firmly believe genealogical records should be well-sourced, carefully preserved, and—most importantly—free to all.
Finally, we are truly pleased you are here.

The database includes surname and given-name indexes, as well as a sources index. Updates will be made periodically.
