USGenWeb Project

The USGenWeb Project is a fantastic and accessible resource for people looking to learn about their family history through genealogy. It's organized by states and counties, making it easy for researchers to focus on specific places. Each state and county page usually has many local records and resources to help users uncover their family's past.

One of the project's defining strengths is its variety of genealogy records. Users can find everything from census data and cemetery records to essential documents like birth and marriage records, old newspaper articles, and records about who owned land. Plus, many state and county pages have places to ask questions and chat with others interested in genealogy.

The USGenWeb Project doesn't stop there. It also has special projects for specific types of research, like African-American genealogy, Native-American genealogy, and military records. And if users want to get better at genealogy, they often provide educational materials, guides, and helpful tips to help them improve their skills.

One of the best things about the USGenWeb Project is that everything is free. Users don't need to pay for access or join anything. Whether you're exploring your family's history in a particular place or have a specific research interest, the USGenWeb Project has many dedicated volunteers and genealogy resources to explore.
