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
Nancy.
(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 Veneta
