About USGenWeb

The USGenWeb Project consists of a group of volunteers working together to provide Internet websites for genealogical research in every county and every state of the United States. The Project is non-commercial and fully committed to free access for everyone.

Organization is by county and state, and this website provides you with links to all the state websites which, in turn, provide gateways to the counties. The USGenWeb Project also sponsors important Special Projects at the national level and this website provides an entry point to all of those pages, as well.

Although the basic unit of organization for The USGenWeb Project is at the county level, State Websites include very important information as well, including such resources for postings of unknown county queries, family reunion bulletin boards, state histories, and maps showing the changing county boundaries, among others. Many states also have ongoing projects as diverse as the transcription of Civil War regiments or the reuniting of families with lost photos, bibles, etc.

As you explore the state and county websites, you will see considerable variation as each page or database is the creation, property and responsibility of an individual volunteer. But, you will also find that all of the counties will provide links for you to post queries, access the state's home page and access the archives. All of the volunteers who make up The USGenWeb Project are very proud of this endeavor and hope that you will find their hard work both beneficial and rewarding.

The goal of the USGenWeb Project is to make genealogical information available online.  These are stored at the USGenWeb Archives. You can view the files for Montana at the MTGenWeb Archives.

About the AHGP

We are a group of independent webmasters who link together to share Historical and Genealogical data with researchers in a peaceful and harmonious setting.

AHGP is structured very differently from other online Genealogy and History organizations. We have very few rules or restrictions and believe in providing our members with many choices and options in every aspect of membership, thus eliminating the in-fighting prevalent in other groups.

Each site or topic page is an independent linking site. There is no limit to the number of member sites per state, county, topic, etc. Linking to other member sites is encouraged, but it is not required. For example, county sites are not required to link through a state site, and state sites are not forced to link any given county site. All members also have the option of linking directly to our main pages.

ALHN

A central point of entry to independent web sites with historical or genealogical content.

Our dream is to furnish you, the researcher, with the historical and genealogical information to round out your research on your ancestors. ALHN will be adding links and data in a continuous fashion. All contributions are gratefully accepted and the copyright for that information will continue to reside with the contributor. There are no "strings" attached to any contribution, you may take it back at anytime although it is our hope that you will not do so.

ALHN is not doing this to compete nor replace any other historical or genealogical organization, rather this is in addition to those worthwhile organizations.
