Genealogy Trails is an independent group of volunteers, not affiliated with any other group. 
We fund and support our own needs, and our purpose for existing is to place data online for the FREE use of all researchers.

 We have many other county sites available for adoption, so...... 
If you have a love of history and genealogy, enjoy helping people, and have a basic knowledge of web authoring, consider joining us! 
Visit our Volunteer Information page to learn more.


Regretfully, we have no time available
to perform research for anybody
