Brief History of
Arkansas
In 1803, the
Louisiana Purchase was acquired by the United States, and, in 1819, Arkansas was
organized as a territory. Its northern, eastern and southern borders were the
same as they are now, but to the west, some of what is now Oklahoma was
included. Two years later, in 1821, the territorial capital was moved from
Arkansas Post to Little Rock.
By 1836, the Arkansas Territory had the 60,000 residents required to become a
state, and after writing an acceptable constitution, was declared the 25th state
in the United States
About the Arkansas Gen Web Project
In April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the
Arkansas Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to
provide a single entry point for all counties in Arkansas, 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. 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. If you
would like to host a county, in Arkansas, contact Betsy Mills.
THE US GEN WEB 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. 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.
World Gen Web
It is a genealogy volunteer site called Genealogy Look Up Forum.
It is a web site of volunteers who will do various types
of look ups in many states such as Birth, Death, Census, Cemetery, Marriage, and obituaries.
