The WAGenWeb/USGenWeb 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 individuals 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. This grew into The USGenWeb Project and eventually The WorldGenWeb Project.
"Did you ever go to a GenWeb page, or other Genealogy pages and find nothing but links and more links and finally ended up frustrated not finding anything after long hours of searching??? That is why I am dedicated to providing some information on this site that someone may find useful....a treasure of sorts, to help in their research and make their day. Help someone who is researching the same name and help yourself, by making contact with them. Please Share...on ANY GenWeb site or other genealogy site. Add your information...KEEP GENEALOGY FREE ..Thank you......" Rella : )
