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.
Raleigh County was formed on January 23, 1850 from portions
of Fayette County.
Alfred Beckley (1802-1888) said he gave Raleigh County its name in honor of Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618), the
“enterprising and far-seeing patron of the earliest attempts to colonize our old Mother State of Virginia”
