During the 1920s and early 1930s, a jug of illegal whiskey could change a family’s fortune—or tear it apart. Whether your ancestors ran stills deep in the woods or simply served homemade brew at a quiet kitchen table, Prohibition touched nearly every community in America.

The records left behind by this period—if you know where to look—reveal a time of defiance, desperation, and secret enterprise. And if you’ve got Southern, Appalachian, Midwestern, or even urban roots, there’s a good chance someone in your family tree ran afoul of the law during this dry era.

Let’s take a closer look at the legacy of Prohibition, how moonshining worked, why so many people got involved, and how to uncover those stories in your own family history.
