- About our Data Repository -

The USGenNet Data Repository was established by the United States Genealogy Network (USGenNet), Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to provide for long term secure storage of digital and transcribed records that are important to historical and genealogical research. These records have been donated for permanent online free-access.

While these records are provided with free access for everyone to use there are costs involved to make this possible. We receive no grants or funding and exist entirely on donations. Every penny received is spent on operating expenses, the largest being server fees. USGenNet is staffed entirely by volunteers and pays no wages or salaries. If you have found information on these pages that helps you in your research please thank our volunteers for their efforts and consider making a tax deductible donation of any size to the United States Genealogy Network, Inc., (USGenNet, Inc.)
