Genealogy Trails is trying to bring free, informative genealogical and historical information for each of our 50
states. We started with one state, Illinois, and we have now expanded to try and cover all the states of the U.S.
If you have information that you'd like to share with us on the history of
Minnesota and its people, please send
it to us and we'll make sure it gets posted to the right county. We
are looking for biographies, birth and death records, obituaries, newspaper stories, family history - the items
YOU used to put together your family trees!
We need State and County Co-Ordinators to help us transcribe
and bring FREE genealogical and historical online. Its fun, its informative and its a great group of people to
work with
If interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Information Page and contact
Kim (Knowledge of basic webpage-making and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
