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 site is available for adoption!

If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails as the host of this state site or any of our county websites,
view our Volunteer Page for all the ins and outs of becoming a host.
(Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is required)

Check your Attics!
Dust off your family scrapbooks!
We're looking for DATA for our sites!!!

Types of Data We're Looking to Post Online
Send transcribed biographies, obituaries, vital records, census records, newspaper gleanings, military records, or if you have walked cemeteries and have transcribed those names and dates, and any other type of data you think would be helpful to researchers

Regretfully, we do not have time to do research for anybody.
All data we come across will be added to these sites.

We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again
to view the updates we make to these sites.
