About
The USGenWeb Project
In
March and April of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky
Comprehensive
Genealogy Database Project. 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.
In
June, as the Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to
start
a
page for each of the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky
project,
volunteers
were
found to host the state pages.
In November of 2004 I became the Torrance County coordinator
and agreed to
create
and
maintain
the website. I owe the original coordinator of Torrance County, edwina
George Hewett,
a
big THANK YOU
for obtaining the information for the easy
transfer
to myself. I am very much open to any and all suggestions &
comments
about
the website, and I encourage all those doing research in Torrance County
to
become involved in the program. Your help will be most welcome.
