About the USGenWeb
The USGenWeb Project consists of a group of
volunteers working together to provide Internet websites
for genealogical research in every county and every
state of the United States. The Project is
non-commercial and fully committed to free access for
everyone.
Organization is by county and state, and this website
provides you with links to all the state websites which,
in turn, provide gateways to the counties. The USGenWeb
Project also sponsors important Special Projects at the
national level and this website provides an entry point
to all of those pages, as well.
Although the basic unit of organization for The
USGenWeb Project is at the county level, State Websites
include very important information as well, including
such resources for postings of unknown county queries,
family reunion bulletin boards, state histories, and
maps showing the changing county boundaries, among
others. Many states also have ongoing projects as
diverse as the transcription of Civil War regiments or
the reuniting of families with lost photos, bibles, etc.
As you explore the state and county websites, you
will see considerable variation as each page or database
is the creation, property and responsibility of an
individual volunteer. But, you will also find that all
of the counties will provide links for you to post
queries, access the state's home page and access the
archives. All of the volunteers who make up The
USGenWeb Project are very proud of this endeavor and hope
that you will find their hard work both beneficial and
rewarding. The goal of the USGenWeb Project is to make genealogical information available online. |
