Berrien County, MIGenWeb
is proud
to be a part of the oldest Internet genealogical research group, "The
USGenWeb". Berrien was named for the Honorable John M. Berrien,
Attorney General under the direction of President Andrew Jackson.
County organized - 1831. Original county seat - Berrien
Springs until
1894 when Saint Joseph became the county seat.
History and Growth of the MIGenWeb
Project - In March
and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky
Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project, now known as the Kentucky
GenWeb Project. 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 MIGenWeb Project is an outgrowth of
that original Kentucky project for the state of Michigan and also began
in 1996.
