This page is part of the USGenWeb Project. Modeled after the Kentucky GenWeb Project which was organized by a group of genealogists in March and April 1996, the idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In June 1996, it was decided to expand the project to include all states.

If the state in which you are interested does not have a page and you wish to be responsible for it, please contact Tina Vickery, USGenWeb Coordinator.

If you would like to contribute your data or create a county page within New York State, please contact Bob Sullivan.
