About the NEGenWeb Project
In March and April, 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.
This is an outgrowth of that original Kentucky project.
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. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you
have a desire to add your data to the database. If the county in which
you are interested does not have a page and/or you wish to participate
in some way, please contact the State
Coordinator.
