Welcome to Florida Genealogy Trails!

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 County Website is available for adoption.



WANT TO HELP?
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be successful.
If you are interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information

We'll be happy to help your families' obituaries, news items and other historical data find a home here at Florida 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 IS ADDED TO THE SITE AS WE COME ACROSS IT, SO KEEP CHECKING BACK!
