Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data 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 it can be. If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Nancy.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is required)



We regret that we are unable to perform personal research for folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.


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

It was eleven years after the Mississippi Territory was established, on December 21, 1809, that Franklin County was organized.  The county name deriving from Benjamin Franklin, the statesman and publisher.  It was originally a part of Adams County and as years past, the county lines were changed to establish both Lincoln and Lawrence County.  The county seat of Franklin County is Meadville.
