Welcome to Saint John's County

Florida Genealogy Trails

volunteers dedicated to free genealogy

Please contact US if you have any questions, comments on the

Florida site, or to submit data.

We appreciate all help we can get to make this a better site.

Anything sent to us that we use will have full credit given.

 

Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to transcribe and post genealogical source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through time, throughout the country.

These Florida County websites need a dedicated host to make these sites the best that they can be!

If you think that you may be interested in volunteering to host a county or state please view our Volunteer Information page
(A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required)

Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family!
We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Florida is covered under the South-Eastern Region Mailing List

Remember to look around at the other states and consider donating your source information -- every little bit helps someone.

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.

Florida. The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind was opened at St. Augustine in 1885. It is in the hands of the State board of control of educational institutions, with general supervision by the State department of education.

The school was called the Institute for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb till 1903, when it became the School for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb. The present name was given in 1909. In 1895 a department for colored pupils was opened. The first trustees of the institution consisted of the State board of education; in 1903 it was placed under a special board; and in 1905 it came under the present plan.
