WorldGenWeb is the international counterpart to USGenWeb. Instead of focusing on U.S. counties, it provides a framework for volunteers around the world to publish local genealogy transcriptions, research aids, and historical material tied to specific places.
Like USGenWeb, WorldGenWeb is:
- decentralized
- uneven in coverage
- volunteer-maintained
- often old-fashioned in design
And like USGenWeb, it contains name-bearing content that often exists nowhere else online.
WorldGenWeb is best used as a locality-based discovery site, not a one-stop search engine.
