Genealogy Trails is an independent group of volunteers, not
affiliated with any other 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.
If you have a love of history and genealogy, enjoy helping people,
and have a basic knowledge of web authoring, consider joining
us!

Regretfully, we have no time available
to perform research for anybody
