Welcome to Talbot County, Maryland
A Proud part of the Genealogy Trails Group

Welcome to Genealogy Trails!

 

Welcome to the Maryland Genealogy Trails website for
Talbot County.

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.

This website is in need of a dedicated host!

This is a continuation of our original Illinois Genealogy Trails project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions.

We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project grow.

If you think you might be interested in hosting a county website such as this one, please view the Volunteer Page for further information and contact Kim.

If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to our mailing lists
