Our goal is to help you track your ancestors
through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for the free use of all researchers.
This Site is Available for Adoption
but you can send your data submissions here
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)
Going forward, we're hoping to make this site a more helpful research site than
it has been. Instead of focusing on a few individual family lines, our goal will be to add data that will be helpful
to ALL researchers, not just those of a few individual families.
Thanks to all the contributors over the years who helped to make this site one of the best!
We regret that we are unable to perform personal research
for folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to
view the updates we make to this site.
If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to any or all of our mailing lists
