Welcome to Genealogy Trails
Volunteers working to put free historical data online.

Hi, my name is Nancy Hannah. I grew up, attended school, raised my family, and continue to live here today. We have some wonderful people and beautiful country here, as well as great historical landmarks. As your Preble County, Ohio host I will try to post as much data online as possible in order to make it freely available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of raw data such as census information, marriage/birth/death records, obituaries, county histories, biographies, old newspaper items - anything that would help someone build their family tree!!

Please email me with your contributions - every little bit helps!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PREBLE COUNTY!
