Welcome to VAtrails.com.  I put this site together to help other researchers looking for ancestors in mostly the  Southwest region of Virginia and some counties in West Virginia.  While doing my own research, I accumulate mass amounts of materials that I am sure would be helpful to others, so I share.

While I am happy to share what I have, please understand that I do not have the complete works of any books, ledgers or documents that I find, nor do I have access to microfilm, etc. Most of the information that I have was copied for me either by a family member living in Virginia (I live in Florida) or by myself on one of my infrequent trips to visit family in that state. Everything I have is loose and  is not  in any sort of order, therefore I can not do individual searches for you, but will do my best to help you with any questions you may have.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me.

This site is totally free, however lots of money gets spent on copies, web up keep, etc.  I would like to keep adding new information, but sometimes, money can get tight! If you want to donate to my cause, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
