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 Legacy Website is not available for adoption, but we do have other counties who need a dedicated host, so.....
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.]
