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. This idea has been
expanded and includes all areas of the United States and
became the USGenWeb project.
At the same time,
volunteers were found that were willing to coordinate the
collection of databases and generally oversee the
contents of the web page.
