Welcome to Genealogy Trails
Volunteers working to
put free historical data online.
Hi, my name is Nancy Hannah. I grew up,
attended school, raised my family, and continue to live here
today. We have some wonderful people and beautiful
country here, as well as great historical
landmarks. As your Preble County, Ohio host I
will try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it
freely available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data
such as census information, marriage/birth/death records, obituaries,
county histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that
would help someone build their family tree!! No bit of information is
too small and your additions will remain your property.
Thank you for visiting and please come back often!
Please email me with your contributions - every little bit helps!
NEW!! - Submitting an obituary or headstone
transcription has just gotten easier - just click on the link, fill
in the form, and click "submit"!
