Lee County Information
Lee County was created in 1887 from Monroe County and was named for
Robert E. Lee, general in the American Civil War.
In 1923, Collier and Hendry Counties were created by splitting these
areas from Lee County.
The county seat is Fort Myers, and its largest city is Cape Coral.

Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical
source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through
time, throughout the country.
This Lee County site needs a dedicated host to it the best that it can
be!
If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county
or state please view our Volunteer
Information page here and email
Kim.
(A desire
to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required)
Join
our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect
and share information. You never know who you might meet and what family
data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of
the family!
We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Florida
is covered under the South-Eastern Region Mailing List
Remember to look around at the other
states and consider donating your source information -- every
little bit helps someone.
