Virginia Genealogy Trails
welcomes you to
Wythe 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.
