History and Genealogy for Kane County, Utah Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time, throughout the country. This county site needs a dedicated host to make this site the best that it can be! If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county or state please view our Volunteer Information page. (A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required) Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. 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.

Founded in 1864, Kane County was named for Col. Thomas L. Kane, a friend of the Mormon settlers. Its county seat and largest city is Kanab. The Colorado River, reformed as Lake Powell, forms its eastern boundary. Arizona lies on the southern boundary. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument covers much of the county. A rugged and inhospitable country of deserts, mountains and cliffs makes up the terrain, with breath-taking scenery in every area Cities and towns Alton - An Entrance to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Big Water - An Entrance to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Duck Creek Glendale - An Entrance to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Kanab Orderville Mount Carmel Junction - 12 miles from Zion National Park ONLINE DATA BIOGRAPHIES BIRTHS CEMETERIES CENSUS DATA DEATHS HISTORY MARRIAGES MILITARY DATA NEWSPAPER DATA OBITUARIES SCHOOLS Updates: February 2012: DEATHS: Death Index for Kane County submitted by Barb Ziegenmeyer.
