History of IAGenWeb
In March & 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 & cross-linked, so that if an individual were found
in
more than one county, they could be located in the index.
The idea caught the imagination of genealogists across
the
United States. Within months the project expanded from Kentucky to all
areas of the United States, becoming the USGenWeb Project.
