Putnam County
Genealogy and History
Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This county is available for adoption.
WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR
YOU. All data we come across will be added to this website, so please keep checking back.
We're looking for folks who share our desire to put data online and are
interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it.
If you are interested joining our group as County Host for this website, or any of our websites, view our Volunteer Information
page and Email Kim.
A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.
In the meantime, we'd be very happy to accept any data you'd care
to contribute and would like to see displayed on this site. We're looking for "raw data" - the birth/death/marriage
records, obituaries, cemetery headstone readings, biographies, county histories, census data, pensions and other
military data. In short, we'd like to display all the items you used to put together your family tree (rather than
the tree itself).
Email your transcribed data to us and we'll take care of putting
it online.

Putnam County was founded in 1854. It was named
in honor of Israel Putnam, veteran of the French and Indian War, who was commander in the Detroit Expedition against
Pontiac. Major general in the Revolution, he fought at Bunker Hill and Harlem Heights and commanded American forces
at the Battle of Long Island.
