Surry County Genealogy
and History
Volunteers
Dedicated to Free Genealogy
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.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this website
become a useful research tool.
If you would like to join our group and become the host of this county, please visit our Volunteer Page and contact Kim. (A desire to transcribe data and basic webpage skills are necessary)
We regret that we have no time to perform personal research
for anybody.
All data we come across will be added to this site, so please keep checking back here.
