Welcome to this Genealogy Trails website
for
Barnstable County, Massachusetts
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and
placing it online for the free use of all researchers. We're new at providing data for states other than Illinois,
but if we're able to help even a few people by our efforts, it will be worth it!
Until this site has a permanent host, we'll be adding data to this site as we are able. You can help us to get
this site growing by sending in your family's data
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project
be as successful as our Illinois
websites are. If you are interested in hosting this site, visit our Volunteer Information
Page and contact Kim at Genealogy Trails!
