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

©


Also A Williams Family Line site 

The Original FLGenWeb Project began in 1996 & incorporated as 501(c)3 not-for-profit in 2008,
with over ten years of accumulated data contributions.

This web site is part of the Original FL-GenWeb Project,Inc.
Your new volunteer hostess is Peggy McSwain .  I hope each of our vistors achieve their
goals while searching through the Desoto 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, Ray Richard
or your site hostess Peggy

OR check out the Original FLGenWeb County List to see if there is a county 
up for adoption that you may be interested in.
Thank you
