About the USGenWeb Project
The
USGenWeb Project is a group of volunteers working together and having fun providing free online genealogy help and information for every U.S. state and county. Our national site provides links to state sites, which, in turn, provide gateways to the counties. We also sponsor important Special Projects, gathering useful data you can access for free. You'll see variation in site style and content across our many web sites. It shows the wonderful diversity of our volunteers!
USGenWeb was established in 1996 by a group of genealogists who shared a desire to create online centers for genealogical research. Each of our literally thousands of web sites have been created and are maintained by volunteers. Some of the offerings you're likely to see in these diverse and creative sites include query boards, listings of local sources for records, county and state histories, online genealogy books, research tips, maps, and links to helpful internet resources. You'll even find transcribed records online, accessible for free from the comfort of your home. Our Special Projects, such as the nationally-recognized Tombstone Project, assist in the effort to gather these record transcriptions. The USGenWeb Archives are a major repository of data, which is provided by helpful contributors - people just like you!
About CAGenWeb
Yes, there IS a group of volunteers concentrating on California.
We are proud to be a part of the US GenWeb project! The first California
USGenWeb Project page was loaded on July 16, 1996. Space for the California
portion of The USGenWeb project was originally donated by Richard S. Wilson.
And, from 2002, we are supported by Volunteers who contribute
financially as they are able. Our main web page can be found at: http://cagenweb.com/
Are YOU interested in volunteering your time as a county coordinator or even volunteering your time to look-up things for others?
