Welcome to Traill County ND History and Genealogy Presented by North Dakota Genealogy Trails a part of Genealogy Trails Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy This Site is Available for Adoption 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 Kim. (Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is required) We regret that we are unable to perform research for you. 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. County Information Traill county was created in 1875 by the 1874-75 territorial legislature.
