text/html;\\ charset=windows-1252 description In\\ the\\ spring\\ of\\ 1996,\\ a\\ group\\ of\\ genealogists\\ led\\ by\\ Jeff\\ Murphy\\ organized\\ the\\ Kentucky\\ Comprehensive\\ Genealogy\\ Database\\ Project,\\ which\\ evolved\\ into\\ the\\ KyGenWeb\\ Project.\\ The\\ idea\\ was\\ to\\ provide\\ a\\ single\\ entry\\ point\\ for\\ genealogy\\ data\\ and\\ research\\ for\\ all\\ counties\\ in\\ Kentucky.\\ In\\ addition,\\ the\\ information\\ for\\ each\\ county\\ would\\ be\\ indexed\\ and\\ cross-linked\\ to\\ make\\ it\\ easier\\ for\\ researchers\\ to\\ find\\ a\\ name\\ or\\ data\\ that\\ they\\ sought.\\ \\ In\\ June\\ 1996,\\ as\\ the\\ KyGenWeb\\ Project\\ was\\ nearing\\ 100%\\ county\\ coverage,\\ interested\\ volunteers\\ decided\\ to\\ create\\ a\\ similar\\ set\\ of\\ pages\\ for\\ all\\ states,\\ establishing\\ The\\ USGenWeb\\ Project.\\ Bill\\ Couch\\ wanted\\ to\\ follow\\ in\\ the\\ footsteps\\ of\\ the\\ KY\\ Project\\ with\\ a\\ similar\\ site\\ for\\ Arkansas.\\ Jeff\\ Murphy\\ set\\ up\\ a\\ main\\ page\\ for\\ the\\ states\\ that\\ included\\ a\\ template\\ for\\ volunteers\\ to\\ use.\\ Announcements\\ were\\ made\\ to\\ genealogy\\ mailing\\ lists\\ and\\ newsgroups\\ and\\ news\\ of\\ this\\ Project\\ was\\ spread\\ by\\ email\\ and\\ word\\ of\\ mouth.\\ Volunteers\\ were\\ found\\ who\\ were\\ willing\\ to\\ coordinate\\ the\\ efforts\\ for\\ each\\ state,\\ and\\ additional\\ volunteers\\ were\\ sought\\ to\\ create\\ and\\ maintain\\ websites\\ for\\ every\\ county\\ in\\ the\\ United\\ States.\\ By\\ July\\ of\\ 1996\\ most\\ states\\ were\\ online\\ with\\ state\\ homepages\\ and\\ most\\ had\\ several\\ volunteers.\\ \\ There\\ was\\ a\\ core\\ group\\ of\\ people\\ who\\ got\\ involved\\ very\\ early\\ and\\ were\\ key\\ to\\ getting\\ this\\ new\\ Project\\ off\\ the\\ ground.\\ It\\ was\\ these\\ people\\ who\\ laid\\ the\\ groundwork\\ for\\ assuring\\ the\\ success\\ of\\ The\\ USGenWeb\\ Project.\\ These\\ people\\ included\\ Jeff\\ Murphy,\\ Dale\\ Schneider,\\ John\\ Rigdon,\\ Linda\\ Lewis,\\ Joy\\ Fisher,\\ Kim\\ Harris\\ Myers,\\ Billie\\ R.\\ McNamara,\\ Melissa\\ Calhoun,\\ Nancy\\ Trice,\\ Bill\\ Couch,\\ Betty\\ Sellers,\\ Jim\\ Rothgeb,\\ Deke\\ Smith,\\ Sharon\\ L.\\ Rowe,\\ Mary\\ Lynne\\ Ellis,\\ Edward\\ Hayden,\\ Richard\\ Holler,\\ Laura\\ Cook,\\ Gary\\ Steiner,\\ and\\ Diane\\ Miller.\\ \\ In\\ October\\ 1996,\\ "The\\ USGenWeb\\ Web\\ White\\ Paper"\\ was\\ distributed\\ world-wide\\ by\\ The\\ USGenWeb\\ Project.\\ The\\ purpose\\ was\\ to\\ summarize\\ the\\ progress\\ of\\ the\\ Project\\ and\\ to\\ encourage\\ additional\\ people\\ to\\ volunteer.\\ The\\ "White\\ Paper"\\ serves\\ as\\ a\\ very\\ good\\ historical\\ outline\\ of\\ the\\ Project's\\ early\\ days.\\ \\ Although\\ The\\ USGenWeb\\ Project\\ was\\ originally\\ designed\\ to\\ be\\ organized\\ by\\ state\\ and\\ county,\\ much\\ genealogy\\ data\\ cannot\\ be\\ limited\\ to\\ a\\ single\\ county,\\ or\\ even\\ a\\ single\\ state.\\ So,\\ USGenWeb\\ Special\\ Projects\\ have\\ evolved\\ to\\ collect\\ and\\ disseminate\\ data\\ that\\ goes\\ beyond\\ county\\ and\\ state\\ lines.\\ \\ The\\ USGenWeb\\ Project\\ continues\\ to\\ evolve\\ thanks\\ to\\ every\\ past,\\ present\\ and\\ future\\ volunteer. keywords Biographies,\\ Biography,\\ Men\\ of\\ Our\\
