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)
We regret
that we are unable to perform research for you.
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.
County Information
The county was founded
in 1883 by territorial legislation (predating statehood).
It was named after Oscar M. Towner (b. 1842, d. 1897), who was a member
of the United States House of Representatives.
After founding, the county government was fully organized on January
24, 1884.
