Hello, my name is Tom Bombaci, Jr. I am the volunteer
coordinator for the Catron County

suggestions and assistance. The purpose of
these pages is to provide a starting place for those who
are researching their genealogical roots in
this county. I have assembled some pages
and links to get you started. If you know of others,

About the GenWeb Project:
In March and April of 1996, a group of
genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database
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.
In June, as the
Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to start a page
for each of
the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky project, volunteers were
found
to host the state pages. In August of 1997, I became the
Catron
County coordinator and agreed to create and maintain the
website. I am very much open to any and all suggestions
& comments about the website,
and I encourage all those doing research in this county to become
involved
in the program. Your help will be most welcome.
