"In
all of us there is a hunger,
marrow-deep, to know our
heritage - to know who we are
and where we have come
from. Without this
enriching knowledge there is A
hollow yearning. No matter
what our attainments
in life there is still a
vacuum. An emptiness, and
the most disquieting
loneliness."
Alex Haley

WELCOME TO
THE
BENTON COUNTY INGENWEB PROJECT
Benton County INGenWeb is a part of
the USGenWeb Project and is an
all-volunteer effort.
In June, 1996, a group of genealogists
organized the Indiana Comprehensive
Genealogy Database. The idea was to
provide a single entry point for all
counties in Indiana, 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.
My name is Adina Watkins Dyer
and I am responsible for Benton
County. This site was previously
cared for by Anthony Gick. I would
like to thank Anthony for all his years of
dedication and work for the researchers of
Benton County, and wish him all the best
for the future.
If you would like
to contribute information to this site,
please let me know.
