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, subscribe to any or all of our
mailing

Maryland is covered under our "Northeast Coastal" States mailing
list.
