Hello and Welcome to the Genalogy Trails site for Franklin County, Missouri.
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 looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be successful.
If you are interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim

You are welcome, encouraged even, to browse the information on these pages and at the many links provided to garner the data needed to continue your research into your family history. However, Please remember that this information, in many cases, represents years of painstaking research on the part of myself, or the many generous volunteers who have donated their information to this site. You can show your respect for these efforts by not taking things to use on other websites and/or to claim as your own.
