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..
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We'll be doing the best we can to create a website that you will find
helpful, useful and meaningful as you trace the trails of your ancestors through Amite County until a permanent
host can be found. We are sorry that we can't do any individual research for you but we'll do everything possible
to add information to this site that will help.

Adams County was created on April 2,
1799, from part of Pickering
Territorial County. It was the
first county to be organized in
the Mississippi Territory,
eighteen years before Mississippi
became a state. It is named in
honor of the second President of
the United States, John Adams.
Four Mississippi governors have
hailed from Adams County: David
Holmes, George Poindexter, John A.
Quitman, and Gerard Brandon
The county seat is Natchez.
Natchez was founded in 1716, and
is the oldest city on the
Mississippi River. It has
received the prestigious federal
designation as a Preserve America
Community.
