Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy



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.

This website is available for adoption!

If you have a love for history, a desire to help others, and basic web-authoring skills, consider joining us! Get the details on our Volunteer Page.
[A desire to transcribe data and knowledge of how to make a basic webpage is required.]

If hosting isn't for you, we can use your help in other ways.
More information can be found on the
Volunteer Page.



DONATE YOUR DATA!
Check your attics!
Dust off your family scrapbooks!
We're looking for DATA for this site!!!

We'll be happy to help your families' obituaries, news items and other historical data find a home here at Colorado Genealogy Trails, where it will remain free for all to view.
 

WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU
All data we come across will be added to this website, so please keep checking back.

Previous Updates

We're looking to add the transcribed data from the vital records, biographies from the county histories as well as the county history information itself, transcriptions of obituaries, burial data from cemetery trompings and/or readings, the data from military pensions and other service records; enumerations from census years, any newspaper gleanings for the family members including birth announcements, marriage announcements, death notices/obits and anything in between - in short, the data you used to build your family tree (rather than the tree itself since we don't have the space or manpower to accept gedcoms and trees)
