Welcome to Idaho Trails, part of the Genealogy Trails family



Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.

Website updated February 2008

Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy

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 state and its counties are currently available for adoption.
If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county or state please view our Volunteer Information page 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.

Remember to look around at the other states and consider donating your source information -- every little bit helps someone.

Please contact Kim if you have any questions or comments.

Remember to bookmark us and please keep checking back for new additions to the sites.
