(and what does it do)? |
| The Butler
County Historical & Genealogical
Society is a nonprofit organization established in 1964 in Greenville,
Alabama (the county seat), with 58 charter members. Everyone
interested
in the history of the county and its families was invited to
participate. Founding members worked hard on important preservation projects: surveying cemeteries, transcribing early county documents, censuses, family bibles, diaries and letters, visiting elderly residents and writing their stories, and more. The community continues to benefit from these volunteer efforts today as The Butler County Historical and Genealogical Society provides information and research opportunities to members and the public. Visitors may explore their heritage at the BCHGS research room in Greenville or from a distance through the society’s many publications. |

PUBLICATIONS of
The Butler County Historical & Genealogical Society
Our dedicated volunteers have been transcribing and publishing Butler County records through the Quarterly and book publications since 1964. Three major early record books (original Butler County Land Tracts 1817-1860, 1853 Tax Records, and Probate Minutes Index 1853-1929), and four quarterlies a year for over 40 years -- that's a treasure trove of sources for Butler County researchers! With many records lost in the 1853 courthouse fire, our society's publications provide a great bridge over the gap. |
