Welcome to this Genealogy Trails for Barnstable County,
Massachusetts
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 new at providing data for
states other than Illinois, but if we're able to help even a few
people by our efforts, it will be worth it!
Until this site has a
permanent host, we'll be adding data as we are able. You can help us to
get this site growing by sending in your family's
data.
We're looking for
folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are
interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are. If you are interested in hosting this
site, visit our Volunteer Information Page and contact Kim
at Genealogy Trails!
