"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.
