The USGenWeb Project

This is the home page for The USGenWeb Project. We are a group of volunteers working together to provide Internet websites for genealogical research in every county and every state of the United States. This Project is non-commercial and fully committed to free access for everyone. To learn more at The USGenWeb Project, visit our About the Project page.

Census 2000 Will Be the Largest Peacetime Effort in the History of the United States.

Something big is coming! The questions asked represent the best balance between your community's needs and our commitment to reduce the time and effort it takes you to fill out the form. A census is only as good as the people who participate in it. Get the word out: The Census is important.
Go to our Census 2000 page for additional information.
