~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The history of the Escambia County, Florida GenWeb (FLGenWeb) began with Rootsweb as the hosting server. During 2008 until August 2009, the site was transferred to a new host for the purpose of incorporation. Many problems occurred, which now brings us back to our "roots" at Rootsweb, effective August 2009. The USGenWeb Archives and the Florida Tombstone Project remain with the USGenWeb Project.

With contributions from members of the West Florida Genealogical Society and other volunteers, I am pleased to bring the Escambia County FLGenWeb site to you. My friend and colleague, Virginia “Ginny” Deagan, served as Webmaster and County Coordinator for more than 10 years, in fact, since the start of the GenWeb system. She developed the Escambia County web site into what it is today and it is a huge responsibility to try to follow in her footsteps. I ask for your support in continuing her legacy with your own contributions, comments and suggestions.

Since I am not a research specialist, I regret that I am unable to give you personal assistance in your research; however, I may be able to point you in the right direction! I sincerely wish you happy hunting within these pages that are made possible by so many diligent volunteer contributors!

You may look for some county information at the Welcome to Escambia County, Florida web site.
