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. (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
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
Alabama is covered
under our "Southern States" mailing list.
