Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for the free use of all researchers. We started out way back in March 2000 by providing data for the state of Illinois and expanded to cover the other states in March of 2006. Since then, we've been very pleased to welcome the many new hosts who have joined our original Illinois volunteers, to continue to bring free transcribed data for our websites. All counties within all the states are now online with websites of their own, and we will be working hard to start filling those sites with newly transcribed data. With all the changes going on in the genealogical world, we feel it's important to state that Genealogy Trails is an independent group of volunteers. We are not affiliated with any for-profit company, nor do we have any intention of ever affiliating with one (yes, we've been asked). Our volunteers made the decision at our group's beginnings to fund and support our group's needs themselves and that's what we have every intention of continuing to do. Be assured that the data you contribute to our websites will remain free on our sites for all researchers' use, now and in the future. We continue to be excited about this opportunity to expand into other states and welcome your feedback and comments, and especially your data contributions. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as it can be. If you are interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim. Thank you to all the folks that have been visiting our websites!
