About the OHGenWeb

In March and April 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky where collected databases would be stored. In addition, these databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.

OHGenWeb is an extension of that premise.

The Trumbull County, OHGenWeb Site is a part of The OHGenWeb and The USGenWeb Projects.
