Volunteers Dedicated 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)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morton
county
was
created
by
the
1872-1873 territorial legislature and named
for Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton ( 1823-1877 ), governor of
Indiana during the Civil War and a United States Senator. It was
organized on March 23, 1878, but the action of the 1878 legislature in
attaching the eastern portion to Burleigh County effectively nulified
this action. The county was reorganized on February 18, 1881, after the
detached portion had been returned to Morton County by the 1881
legislature. Lincoln was the county seat from 1878 until 1879 and
Mandan became the county seat in 1881.
