Welcome to Desoto County, Florida
Your place for history and genealogy


 

This web site is part of the USGenWeb and FLGenWeb Projects
Your new volunteer hostess is Peggy McSwain .  I hope each of our vistors acheive their goals while searching through the Desosto County GenWeb Genealogical/History pages. 

Please join us in exploring Desoto County's pioneers and their families.
Together we will sort through old public records, stroll through cemeteries, admire old photographs and interact with each other as we research our family trees.
And remember....
We'd love to receive your family information! 

Interested in becoming a volunteer?  Contact our State Coordinator, Fran Smith

up for adoption that you may be interested in.
