Watchers

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. 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. In June, 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 1996 Nancy Trice volunteered to be coordinator of the Kansas page. In September 1996, Tom and Carolyn Ward joined her as assistant state coordinators. In February 1997 they agreed to change positions and Tom and Carolyn became state coordinators. It is our hope and intention that these KSGenWeb pages will become your primary source of research in your quest for your Kansas roots.
