Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website for Wilkes
County, Georgia.
This County is available for adoption.
Our goal at Genealogy Trails is to help
you track your ancestors through time and place by transcribing
genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use
of all researchers.
This is a continuation of our original,
Illinois Genealogy Trails History and Genealogy Project and we are
excited about this opportunity to expand into other states. We welcome
your feedback and comments, and your data contributions.

dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this
project be as successful as it can be.

Any data we come across will be added to this

The county seat
is Washington, Georgia. Wilkes county is commonly referred to by locals
and people around the state as "Washington-Wilkes," as both the county
and the county seat are viewed as one entity. It is one of the original
counties of Georgia, created February 5, 1777. Wilkes County was the
last place that the lost gold of the Confederacy was seen which has
become one of Georgia's most lingering and possibly lucrative mysteries.
