Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
My name is Christina Anthony and I will be your Washington
County, Ohio host. The goal of Genealogy Trails is to help you track your
ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical
data for the free use of all researchers. I'll be posting
as much information online as possible - feel free to contribute your
Obits, Biographies and Pioneer Family History by sending me an
email!
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 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,

History of
Washington County Ohio
Washington County, originally about
one-half the territory now included in the State of Ohio, was
established by proclamation of Gov. Arthur St. Clair, Governor
of the Northwest Territory, on the 26th day of July, 1788.
Events which led up to this establishment were due to the
preserverance of two great men, Gen. Rufus Putnam and Rev. Dr.
Manasseh Cutler, the formation and function of the Ohio
Company and the passage by the Continental Congress of the
"Ordinance of 1787".
County
Seat: Marietta, the oldest city in Ohio, founded in
