Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Bedford County, Virginia. Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.

This is a continuation of our original, and highly successful, Genealogy Trails Illinois History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. If you have data that you would like to have posted on this website, please contact me.

We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as our Illinois websites are.
