Do you have data to contribute?

This site welcomes almost any data with a connection to Richland Co.  Vital records, census data and cemetery records are just a few suggestions - but we have had volunteers submit a wide variety of information.  You never know when something you submit will help someone else - or perhaps lead to making a connection with a new cousin!

To submit information to this site, please contact The State Coordinator

Many thanks all of the contributors and the former Volunteer County Coordinators, Amy Armstrong, Lorraine Newsome, Debbie Axtman and Ginger Cisewski, James W. McCluer & Bill and Diana Sowers, who created, expanded and maintained this site for 25 years. All of their work and your future contributions help to ensure free genealogy information is available to everyone.
