Welcome to Genealogy Trails
Volunteers working to put free historical data online.

My name is JANICE RICE and as your KNOX COUNTY host I try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data such as census information, marriage/birth/death records, obituaries, county histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would help someone build their family tree!!

Feel free to email me with your contributions - every little bit helps.

I regret that I am unable to do personal research
