Welcome to Rhode Island Genealogy Trails!

 

Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time, throughout the country.

This site is Available for Adoption

This website needs a dedicated host to make it the best that it can be! If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host this site, please view our
Volunteer Information page and email Kim.
(A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required)

We hope you will consider contributing your Obits, Biographies
and Pioneer Family History.  Send you contributions to
Christina.

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.

Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. Our Rhode Island sites are covered under the North-Eastern Coastal States Region list. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family!

We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates.

Remember to look around at our
other states and consider donating your source information -- every little bit helps someone.

The county was formed in 1746 by the transfer of part of Bristol County, Massachusetts, to the state of Rhode Island, and was the subject of a long-running border dispute.  It is located on a peninsula bordered by Massachusetts on the northeast, Narragansett Bay on the southwest, and Mount Hope Bay on the southeast. The county was named after Bristol, England and is one of the smallest counties in the United States.
