Trails to the Past

Gail's Corner
It has been just about a year since we have been online. With the help of Rootsweb giving our state and county administrators web space for their sites has worked out great for us. We have a lot going on and a lot of people making this project grow daily.

If you are looking for a fun project, a relaxing project and interacting with other people who share your love of genealogy, this is where you need to be. We laugh, we joke, we work together for each other and at the end of the day when we see what we all have accomplished, it feels good - kind of reminds me of a quilting bee - all working together for one project and all giving their all for the same thing.

If you have any questions, please email anyone of us that you might like to interface with. We will all be able to answer any questions you might have.

Thanks for looking at our little, but soon to be big, project.  Come by and visit again. Gail
 

WELCOME...

...the newest genealogy venture that we hope you will take on the "Trails to the Past" with us.  We are still in the process of selecting volunteers to host our state and county projects.  If you are interested please email the administrator of the state or district you are interested in  and send us a resume of your qualifications using FTP and writing HTML along with any sites you might have on the Internet.  District Administrators can be contacted here.  State Administrators can be contacted through this page. 

 

DECIDED TO JOIN US AND HOST A STATE OR COUNTY?

If you adopt a state or a county, the web space that you get from Rootsweb is your website. You have the passwords to the site and you maintain what goes on the site. You own the copyright to any information you add to the site and your submitters own the copyright for whatever they add to the site. Trails to the Past only hold the copyright on what we put on our National pages.

 

WANT TO HELP BUT DO NOT WANT TO HOST?

If you are good at graphics, perhaps you love to transcribe and or have a love of photographing gravestones.  Maybe you have some ideas of what you would like to do that is not already being done, like a special project such as census records, ship arrivals, trails heading west, the Trail of Tears, old newspapers and there are many more historical subjects out there that we can add for a variety - old postcards, old pictures of long-gone locations, ghost towns.  The list can go on and on.
