A SPECIAL REQUEST!

ALABAMA PIONEERS believes that like a Public Library, Genealogy records should be FREE!But like a Public Library, we depend on donations to keep Alabama Pioneers

FREE and GROWING!!

FYI 

Alabama Pioneers is not owned or affiliated with any organization. It is just a website I started to share my genealogy data. All the information on Alabama Pioneers is uploaded solely by me, Donna Causey.   

This website has become much more than I expected. Many other people have shared memories, stories, genealogy data etc. and I have so much more information to upload. Now we have so much material that sometimes some people complain that it is hard to navigate. 

If you have benefited from the information provided on ALABAMA PIONEERS, please consider a  donation so we can continue to grow and expand our services. A donation once a year will keep Alabama Pioneers FREE and expanding our growing number of documents in our virtual library.

To make a contribution, simply donate safely through the encripted website with any charge or debit card via the "Donate Now"  button on the left of this page.

Even a small amount helps!
