Welcome to Genealogy Trails!


Volunteers Transcribing FREE DATA

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've just completed our THIRD YEAR of providing data for states other than Illinois and we're very grateful for the wonderful words of encouragement we've received from researchers. We are also pleased to welcome our new hosts, who have joined our original Illinois volunteers in bringing free transcribed data for you to view on our websites.

All counties within all the states are now online with websites of their own, and we will be working hard to start filling those sites with newly transcribed data.

We continue to be excited about this opportunity to expand into other states and welcome your feedback and
comments, and especially your data contributions.

IMPORTANT
With all the changes going on in the genealogical world, we feel it's important to state that Genealogy Trails is an independent group of volunteers. We are not affiliated with any for-profit company, nor do we have any intention of ever affiliating with one (yes, we've been asked). Our volunteers made the decision at our group's beginnings to fund and support our group's needs themselves and that's what we have every intention of continuing to do.
Be assured that the data you contribute to our websites will remain free on our sites for all researchers' use, now and in the future.

Thank you to all the folks that have been visiting our websites!
We've recently been honored by ProGenealogists.com as one of the
Top 50 Most Popular Genealogy Websites for 2009.

THANK YOU!


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 our group, view our
Volunteer Page for further information and then contact Kim.

We regret that we have no time to perform personal research for anyone.
