About the Project

In March and April of 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.

As the Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to start a page for each of the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky project, volunteers were found to host the state pages.

In October of 1996 Art Michaelis became the Sheridan county coordinator and agreed to create and maintain the website. He has done a beautiful job! In May of 1998 the site was put up for adoption, and Suzanne Leonard volunteered to continue the tradition. Thank you for the countless hours of work you put into this site!
