Welcome to Suwanee County

Florida Genealogy Trails

*Volunteers dedicated to putting free data online*

We appreciate all help we can get to make this a better site.
Anything sent to us that we use will have full credit given.

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.

These Florida County websites need a dedicated host to make these sites the best that they 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.

At the time of the Spanish exploration of the area in the 1530s, the river banks were inhabited by the Timucuan people, who named it Suwani, meaning "Echo River". In the 18th century, Seminoles lived by the river. The steamboat Madison operated on the river before the Civil War, and the sulphur springs at White Springs became popular as a health resort, with 14 hotels in operation in the late 1800s.
