GenWeb Beginnings
In March and April of 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive
Genealogy Database. The idea behind this behemoth task was to provide one point of access
for databases in Kentucky. Along with the single entry point, the databases were indexed
and cross-linked in order to follow one or more individuals across multiple databases.
Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate databases and web pages for this project.
The project then expanded from Kentucky across the United States becoming the USGenWeb Project.
Now, the project is expanding even further and encompassing the globe to become the World GenWeb Project.
