WHO ARE WE?

We are a group of volunteers who are dedicated in keeping genealogy
free for the internet genealogy research community.

We have a Chain of Command.

The Chain begins or ends with YOU, and the County Coordinator. YOU are the researcher and the genealogy submitter who donates your information to this site in order to share with others.
The second major link in the chain is MSGenWeb Project the State page and State Coordinator who coordinates all the counties coordinators.
The final link at the beginning or end of the chain is USGenWeb Project, our national page and National Coordinator who sets all the rules , regulations and web page knowledge.

The old saying, A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link is true, if YOU , the submitters aren't willing to share your information with the county coordinator then the information on that county's site will be weak.

If you would like to contribute your information to this page or be a LOOK-UP VOLUNTEER, please, contact [an error occurred while processing this directive].

If you are interested in adopting an orphan county, submitting information, etc.; please, visit our How To Be A Volunteer page.

Please, note: I am a Volunteer, I do live in this county, I do have some information available to me but, would prefer not to do many lookups as this job keeps me quite busy in your behalf.

Give our Lookup Volunteers a try; they will be more than happy to assist you or better yet, join our mailing list, there you will find cousins you never knew you had.
See mail list instructions below. Thank you, [an error occurred while processing this directive].
