The AZGenWeb...walking through time

Providing free online genealogical & historical information

The AZGenWeb is a loosely organized group of dedicated volunteers whose goal is to provide online genealogical and historical information at no cost to the visitor. As you browse the pages, you will find some consistent elements. All counties will have an area for you to post queries and links to the state page and USGenWeb Archives. You will also see considerable variation; each page or database is the creation, property and responsibility of an individual volunteer. We are very proud of this project and hope that you are too. If you would like to help, please contact the state or county coordinator for the area that interests you.

What resources are you likely to find at AZGenWeb sites?

• Transcribed census records, tombstones, deed records, etc.
• Local courthouse and government offices information
• Surnames of others researching similar family names
• Possible ancestor photos, and or historical landscape photos
• Newspaper articles of decades gone by
• Transcriptions or abstracts of journals and diaries
• Historical maps of the local area

Not all websites are built the same. Therefore, one site may have much more data than another. Each site owner depends on visitors to donate information. Keep in mind that the sites are only as good as the people who help support them. Please see 'Join Us' in the section below.

We are totally non-commercial and all information you will find in the county sites is free. Unlike other non-commercial concerns, we never solicit funds to continue operating. However, we continually solicit donations of information, photos, documents, pre-1940 news articles, and time. Our project's success is only possible through the support of volunteers. Volunteers are needed in all phases of this project including hosts to maintain individual county pages, volunteers to submit transcribed public records for use in the AZGenWeb Archives, and people to share their own personal resources by doing lookups for other researchers. Would you like to help? To provide information regarding a specific county, contact that county's coordinator. To volunteer to adopt a county, contact the Assistant State Coordinator.
