The MNGenWeb Project

• 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 lead to the USGenWeb of which Minnesota is a part.

  Volunteers are needed who are willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. If interested go to MNGenWeb Project Page USGenWeb Page
