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. The Louisiana USGenWeb Project is an extension of the KY USGenWeb Project. The person responsible for Tangipahoa Parish is Sandy McLellan. Please contact me, if you have a desire to add your data to the database.
The USGenWeb Project is a *Not-For-Profit* organization.

Audubon Regional Library
Audubon Regional Library has three genealogy collections (Clinton, Jackson
and St. Helena branches). Each one has a unique genealogy collection with
many local family histories. The Library catalog is online at
www.youseemore.com/Audubon Most genealogy material must be used in the
Library, but the staff is always willing to check a book for a caller to
help determine its relevance to your family search. The Library is
dedicated to preserving and organizing all of these collections.
