In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, 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. The NC GenWeb Project™ is an extension of the KY GenWeb Project. Please contact the person responsible for this Caldwell county page, Sharon Miller Williamson, if you have a desire to add your data to the database.

Caldwell was formed in 1841 from Burke and Wilkes. It was named in honor of Joseph Caldwell, the first president of the University of North Carolina. He strongly advocated a public school system and a railroad across the center of the state from Morehead City to Tennessee. It is in the west central section of the state and is bounded by Alexander, Catawba, Burke, Avery, Watauga, and Wilkes counties. The present land area is 471.89 square miles and the 1990 population was 70,709. The court was ordered to be held at the store of George Powell near the house of George Smith, Jr., until a courthouse was erected. Commissioners were named to select a site as near the center as possible, acquire land and a town, and erect a courthouse. Lenoir, named in honor of William Lenoir is the county seat.
