About the USGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy
Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases
would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found
in more than one county, they could be located in the index. In June, as the Kentucky Project was coming to completion,
it was decided to create this page for all states. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection
of county pages for each state page. [The project evolved into the nationwide USGenWeb Project and eventually spread to
WorldGenWeb.]
