HIGENWEB PROJECT About USGenWeb |
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.
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. Required elements of a county page included
offering queries and lookups. This project became known as KyGenWeb.
Within just a few months, most of the Kentucky counties
had a volunteer coordinator, and it was decided to expand the project
to include the other states... and USGenWeb was born, and a short time
later WorldGenWeb. Today, over six years later, it is easier than ever
to research your family while sitting at your computer at home.
