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. The ORGenWeb Project is an
extension of the KY GenWeb Project.
