Welcome to this
Illinois Genealogy Trails Website
for Boone County.
part of the Genealogy Trails Group
Volunteers Dedicated to Free Online Genealogy
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing
genealogical and historical data for the free use of all researchers.
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 are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then
contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We'll be doing the best we can to create a website that you will find helpful, useful and meaningful as you trace
the trails of your ancestors through Boone County until a permanent host can be found.
We are sorry that we can't do any individual research for
you but we'll do everything possible to add information to this site that will help.
Boone County was formed in 1837 out of Winnebago County. It was named for
Kentucky frontiersman Daniel Boone.
