The WorldGenWeb Project at
worldgenweb.org is dedicated to providing genealogical resources!
The GenWeb goal is to have every region in the
world represented by a website and hosted by researchers who are familiar with
the region. The world is divided into countries,
province/states/counties etc. each having web sites identifying genealogy
resources.
This one link,
worldgenweb.org, provides
access to genealogy web sites representing different parts of the world. This is
an important source of regional information and often includes links to online
databases.
Because the management of GenWeb is distributed
to local coordinators, there are great differences between one region and
another.
