About Us
Who
Are And What We Do
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
project was known as the
KYGenWeb.
In June 1996, as the Kentucky Project was coming to completion, it was decided to expand the project to include all states. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of county pages for each state page. This project became known as the USGenWeb.
Just 2 weeks or so after the beginning of the USGenWeb project, a group of people decided to include countries in the project. The project was begun, and there are now several other countries involved in the project. However, volunteers are still needed for many other countries. This project became known as the WORLDGenWeb.

The
WIGenWeb Project
In July 1996,
the state of
Wisconsin was included as part of this project. Any one interested in
hosting a county page which entails the collection of databases and
generally overseeing the
contents of the web page should look at the County Page Index on the
Wisconsin GenWeb Page. This project
is known as the WIGenWeb.
The current State Coordinator is Tina Vickery and the Assistant State Coordinator is MAK. If you would like information on becoming a county coordinator please contact Tina.
