About the North Carolina USGenWeb Project
In March and April 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive
Genealogy Database. 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.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of
databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page for a given county.
This project worked so well in Kentucky, it was decided to provide the same system for all
states. The person responsible for the Haywood County USGenWeb page is Becky Howell. To
contact Becky, for queries and small files, please use HaywoodCountyNC (small file/query)
or for larger files please use, HaywoodCountyNC (large file).
Please include the words, "USGENWEB HAYWOOD COUNTY" along with any other subject
keywords in the subject line. Please contact me if you would like to contribute your
family information to the Haywood County Database.
Our Neighbors
Haywood County is located in the extreme western section of North Carolina nestled in the
beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. It was formed from part of Buncombe County in 1808, and
named in honor of John Haywood, who was the State Treasurer of North Carolina at that
time. When it was first established it included all the land that comprises present day Macon,
Jackson,
Clay,
Cherokee,
Graham, and
Swain counties in North
Carolina and part of the
Qualla
Boundary Cherokee Reservation. At the time of it's creation, Haywood also bordered on
the states of Tennessee and Georgia. Today, it is bounded by
Swain,
Jackson,
Buncombe,
Transylvania and
Madison
counties in North Carolina, and
Cocke
County in Tennessee.
The county seat is Waynesville.
