A Brief History of The MNGenWeb 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. This lead to the USGenWeb of which Minnesota is a part.

Volunteers are needed who are willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web pages. If you would like to host an available Minnesota county, please contact the

MNGenWeb State Coordinator.
