Hello
and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Wilkes County,
Georgia.
This County is available for
adoption.
Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to
help you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing
genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free
use of all researchers.
This is a continuation of our
original, Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project
and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other
states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and your data
contributions.
If you think you might be interested in
joining our group, view our Volunteer
Page for further information and
instructions on signing up. 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 have data that
you would like to have posted on this website, please
contact
us.
Any data we come across will be added to
this site.
We regret that we are unable to perform any personal
research for you.
If you
would like to be kept informed of our state and county website

The county seat is
Washington, Georgia. Wilkes county is commonly referred to by locals and
people around the state as "Washington-Wilkes," as both the county and
the county seat are viewed as one entity. It is one of the original
counties of Georgia, created February 5, 1777. Wilkes County was the
last place that the lost gold of the Confederacy was seen which has
become one of Georgia's most lingering and possibly lucrative
mysteries.
