Scope and Contents

The Wiregrass Genealogy website is a community-driven digital resource dedicated to preserving and sharing genealogical and historical information about the Wiregrass region of the southeastern United States, particularly southern Georgia, southeastern Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle. The site includes biographical sketches, cemetery surveys, church records, surname indexes, and a searchable database of over 4,000 individuals. It also features a moderated forum for collaborative research and discussion among descendants and researchers.



  • Pioneer Sketches: Biographical narratives of early settlers, often drawn from family records, oral histories, and local publications.
  • Church and Cemetery Records: Transcriptions of church meeting minutes, cemetery surveys, and burial records.
  • MyWiregrassAncestors Database: A searchable database of over 4,000 individuals, compiled over 25 years. Entries often include birth and death dates, family connections, biographical notes, and source citations. The database is indexed by surname and given name and is updated periodically.
  • Surname Index: An alphabetical listing of family names with links to associated records and sketches.
  • Periodicals and Articles: Digitized newsletters and essays on regional history and genealogy.
  • Forum: A moderated discussion board where users can collaborate, ask questions, and share research. Access requires a request form to prevent spam.
  • Toolbox: A collection of research tools, templates, and guides for genealogists.
