Welcome to the United States Territories website which is hosted by Trails To The Past.

My name is Charlie Vines and I am your host. I have been researching our families since 1996. My goal is to assist family researchers by providing as much information on the History and People of the United States Territories as possible.

If you find any errors on this site, broken links,  or if you would like to contribute to this project, please contact me

Although I do host this site, I do not live in one of the territories; therefore, my ability to assist with any research will be extremely limited.  I make every effort to post all data that I receive in a timely manner.
