About The USGenWeb Project
and How It Started

In the spring of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the "Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project", which evolved into the KYGenWeb Project.  The idea was to provide a single entry point for genealogy data and research for all counties in Kentucky.  In addition, the information for each county would be indexed and cross-linked to make it easier for researchers to find a name or data that they sought.  In June 1996, as the KYGenWeb Project was nearing 100% county coverage, interested volunteers decided to create a similar set of pages for all states, establishing The USGenWeb Project.  Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the efforts for each state, and additional volunteers were sought to create and maintain websites for every county in the United States.

RootsWeb provided free webspace for the USGenWeb Project.  This webspace was to be provided ad-free.  Ancestry.com acquired RootsWeb and is now changing its policy.  Beginning sometime shortly after March 15, 2008, there will be ads along the top of on all of the USGenWeb Project pages that reside on RootsWeb.
