Hi my name is
Colleen
and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Kanabec County Minnesota. I

Kanabec County was first created in
1858. The County Seat for Kanabec is Mora. It is named after the

The MinnesotaGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists
organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide
a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases
would 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 in the index. This lead to the USGenWeb of which Minnesota is a part.

WorldGenWeb
Project
The World Gen Web Project was created by Dale
Schneider in 1995 to answer the ever growing needs of genealogists all over
the world who were trying to research their ancestors. The goal is to have
every country in the world represented and hosted by hosts who either live
in that country or are familiar with that countries
resources.
