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 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 is an outgrowth of that original Kentucky project. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you have a desire to add your data to the database.
