Genealogy Trails is
an independent group of volunteers, not affiliated with any
for-profit group. We fund and support our own needs, and our
purpose for existing is to place data online for the FREE use of
all researchers.
Our group was formed
back in March of 2000, by providing data for the state of
Illinois, and six years later, we expanded to cover the other 49
states.
Genealogy
Trails.... "Always Free, Always Updating."
This County is available for
adoption!
If you have a love of history
and genealogy, enjoy helping people, and have a basic
knowledge of web authoring, consider joining us! Visit
our
Volunteer Information
page to learn more.
If Hosting isn't for you, you
can still support our efforts.
We need data - chances are, you
have obituaries; birth, marriage and death records;
biographies, etc. - RAW data you used to create your
family tree. Please consider contributing those
materials. Anything contributed will remain YOUR
property, will be credited to you, and will be promptly
removed, should you ever request it.
We need help transcribing as
well.
Email Me if you
have contributions, or can help transcribe materials.
