To go to Genealogy
Trails
Our goal at 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.
