The WILBANKS-L mailing list came into existance on 25 December 1997. By March it was apparent that a web site was needed to store data so that all Wilbanks reseachers could benefit from previously researched information. The intent was to create and maintain a comprehensive site where all Wilbanks (and Willbanks) information and family records could be stored for reference by others. It is a compilation of records from many different sources, relying on the contributions and participation of Wilbanks researchers across the country.

As the site has grown, formats have changed to simplify data maintenance and retreival. Pages are constantly updated. If you are interested in Wilbanks family history, check back often!

Researchers can directly enter Biographies, Obituaries, Wills & Probates, Military & Pension records and Deeds & Land records to the site. Go to the WILBANKS RECORD EXTRACTS page to access these boards and post your contributions. They will be immediately viewable and accessable by others.

You can also volunteer to research or transcribe census data or other records. Any transcribed records, extracts, or scanned images will be accepted and manually posted as time permits. If you have something requiring special treatment, please contact me. An appropriate page or link can be created.

Submitting a researcher registry profile can help others find you. You could be surprised by a cousin researching the same lineage from a different point of view. See the WILBANKS RESEARCHER PROFILES page for these records.

Suggestions are always welcome! Pass along any ideas for improving the site, expanding its scope or enhancing records accessability.
