Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time, throughout the country. This county website needs a dedicated host to make this site the best that it can be! If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county or state please view our Volunteer Information page and email Kim. (A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required) Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family! We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Remember to look around at the other states and consider donating your source information -- every little bit helps someone. Please contact Kim if you have any questions or comments.
	History Nicknamed "The Bayou", because of the many wetlands that dominate the rural landscape, the county seat is Taunton. The land that is now Bristol County was part of the Plymouth Colony, an English colonial venture in North America from 1620 until 1691. The colony contained roughly what is now Bristol County, Plymouth County, and Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Part of the county was deatched to form Bristol County, Rhode Island.
