We're looking for DATA for this site!!!
If you are interested in adding your families' information to this
website, Email
Us.
We'll be happy to help your families' obituaries, news items and other
historical data find a home here at Kentucky Genealogy Trails, where
it will remain free for all to view. You never know who you might meet
and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole
new branch of the family!
If you have a love for history, a desire to help others, and basic webpage-making 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.
