Welcome to Iowa Genealogy Trails!

Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy



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. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting either this county website or one of the available county websites.

This county website is in need of a permanent host.
If you are interested joining our group as webmaster for this website, or any of our websites,

Volunteer Information page and Email Kim.
A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.
