ANNOUNCEMENTS NOTICE: Due to restrictions recently imposed by our hosting service, we have had to unlink most of the death certificate images. The transcriptions remain. We have moved the images to another server and are awaiting the programming changes that are required for them to once again be displayed. Thank you for your patience as we work through this problem.
SITE STATISTICS
Death Records: 265,908 |
In designing the Kentucky Vital Records Project, we focused on issues that were important to us as genealogists. We hope you find wonderful treasures here, and then share your time and personal collections to make the same happen for another!
Free access. Access remains free thanks to generous supporters. Our web space and domain registration are generously provided by project volunteers. All images have been prepared and transcribed by site visitors and project volunteers.
Centralized records. Please see the announcement posted to the left about images in our collection. We are working in coordination with FamilySearch to ensure that our collection will have records not included on their site. FamilySearch is in process of transcribing and preparing the 1911-1954 death certificates for public use.
Easy Searches. Our search capabilites allow you to see every unique surname in the database, so you can look for those obscure spellings and misspellings.
Records available (although not all on this site): Kentucky marriage records are available beginning in 1792 with statewide registrations beginning in 1958. Birth and death records were kept sporadically from 1852-1910 by individual counties and cities. Statewide birth and death registration began in 1911.
Requests for information: We do not have the resources to answer queries about individuals.

"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."
