Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This Site is Available for Adoption
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'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 Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We hope you will consider
contributing your Obits, Biographies
and Pioneer Family History. Send your
contributions to Christina
We regret that we are unable to perform personal research for
folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting
and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.
If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to any or all of our mailing lists
