In the spring of 1996, a group of genealogists with mutual interests in Kentucky genealogy got together and discussed ways and means of using the internet for comprehensive genealogical resources. This resulted in a project to build web sites for every county in Kentucky. This idea quickly spread to other states and by the end of the summer of 1996, the USGenweb Project began.

The WIGenWeb Project was established by a group of genealogists with an interest in providing free genealogical information to the public which could be found through a single entry point for all counties. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of information  and to oversee the contents of the web sites.
