Welcome to Madison County MS History and Genealogy Presented by Mississippi Genealogy Trails a part of Genealogy Trails Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy Your state host is Gene Phillips Please send any data submissions to me. I will upload them as soon as possible. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as it can be. If you are interested in joining Genealogy Trails, view our Volunteer Page for further information. (Enough knowledge to make a basic webpage and a desire to transcribe data is required) Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for the free use of all researchers. We regret that we are unable to perform personal research for folks. All data we come across will be added to this site. We thank you for visiting and hope you'll come back again to view the updates we make to this site.
