Welcome to Gilmer County WV
History and Genealogy
Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy
This Site is Available for Adoption
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data 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 project
be as successful as it can be. If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data
is required)
We regret that we are unable to perform personal research for folks.
All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting
and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.
If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates,

West Virginia is covered under our "Northeastern States" mailing list.
Gilmer County was formed in 1845 from parts of Lewis and Kanawha Counties, and
named for Thomas Walker Gilmer, Governor of Virginia from 1840 to 1841. Gilmer was later a representative in the
United States Congress and Secretary of the Navy in President John Tyler's cabinet.
The county seat is Glenville.
As of 2007, Gilmer County had only one traffic light. It is located in the city
of Glenville.
