Resources of Knox County In Mar and Apr 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. The databases were indexed and cross-linked, so that people could be located in the index even when they hadn't stayed in one county. At the same time, volunteers were found to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of Web pages. The idea caught on and volunteers went to work in every state and county, cooperating in establishing The USGenWeb Project and eventually The WorldGenWeb Project USGenWeb USGenWeb Archives The Family Group Sheets Project (FGS) The US African American Griots Project The Kidz Project The Tombstone Transcription and Photo Project The WorldGenWeb Project Links to websites that are not part of the USGenWeb Project are provided for your convenience and do not emply any endorsement of the websites or their contents by the USGenWeb Project About and History Bibliographies Biographies Genealogical Societies & Libraries Maps Odds and Ends Additional Resources of Knox County African American Genealogy - are you trying to find your roots?
