1855 Census Free Online!

     Alice Corbett and her group of volunteers are busy transcribing the 1855 Jefferson County census schedules. These records sometimes include the county of birth of household members, which you will not find in the federal records for this time period!
     Several towns are completed and available on Alice Corbett's website. Don't forget that the entire 1850 census of Jefferson County is already available on Alice's website too!

Over 950 Pioneer Portraits!

     Over 70 pictures were recently added to the Pioneer Portraits Project, a website under development since May 2001 showcasing old photos and sketches of people who were either born in or who settled in Jefferson County prior to 1865!
     Access the latest additions to the Pioneer Portraits Project from the "County" page.
     If you would like to donate a picture, please send an email to the coordinator.
