I need help in tracing my g-fathers history. He was born in Polk Co. around
1865. If anyone has information about him or a way to check to see if the
information is correct I would appreciate your assistance. His name is George
Washington Trimble. I believe his family moved from the area soon after his
birth to Texas.

Thanks
