So, what exactly IS a GenWeb 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 within the State of Kentucky where collected databases would be stored. Furthermore, the databases would be indexed and cross-referenced, so that even if an individual was found in more than one county, he or she could be located in the central index. This project is an outgrowth of that original project.

Jeff Donald Murphy, of Redmond, Oregon, was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, son of Powell Davis Murphy and Marjorie (Morrison) Murphy. Jeff was the founder of the KYGenWeb, the USGenWeb, USBIOGRAPHIES, and co-founder of KYBIOGRAPHIES.

Today, the USGenWeb Project is a loosely organized group of volunteers that work to create a center for genealogical research for every county within the United States.

The first California USGenWeb Project page was loaded onto the Internet on July 16, 1996. If you would like to host a California county of your own, please contact the California State Coordinator, Richard Wilson, or the California Assistant State Coordinator, Martha A. Crosley Graham, at the addresses below:
