A Brief History of
the 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 an
individual were found in more than one county,
they could be located in the index. The Kentucky project soon expanded to all
fifty states.
