In Memory Of : JEFF DONALD MURPHY, 1947 - 2001, of Redmond, Deschutes County, OR, born in Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY, son of Powell Davis Murphy and Marjorie (Morrison) Murphy. Jeff was the founder of the KYGenWeb, USGenWeb, USBIOGRAPHIES and co-founder of KYBIOGRAPHIES. |
|
About the USGenWeb Project In December, 1995, Jeff Murphy created what was to be the first county page in the USGenWeb Project, with his Muhlenburg County homepage. In March and April, 1996, he and a group of other genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project, which soon changed it's name to the USGenWeb! The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases could be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located within the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Since that time, the project has ballooned and encompassed the whole world, with the creation of the WorldGenWeb. If you are interested in becoming a county coordinator, contact Nancy Trice, USGenWeb State Coordinator.
