The following information explains the history of the Archives. I have just finished updating my part of the archives and any files that you want to submit are great with me. Please go to the Ohio TOC for the archives at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/ohfiles.htm and check out what is there. You may find something that will relate to your family. This project will grow with your help and assistance. The USGenWeb Archive was developed to present actual transcriptions of public domain records on the Internet. This huge undertaking is the cooperative effort of volunteers who either have electronically formatted files on census records, marriage bonds, wills, and other public documents, or are willing to transcribe this information to contribute. Once the decision was made to develop a project, originally called "TimeToDo" Something, a call went out to volunteers who would be willing to transcribe primary records as a "service to the community", find a way to get them posted on the Internet, and allow the USGenWeb county hosts to make them available to the Internet community by links to the ftp datasets. Space was donated by RootsWeb for storage of the files.
