Is this a practice that has always been in place - like in the 1800's, or started at a later date? I have a lost relative in the late 1800/early 1900 in farthest west KY. No death date available, no headstone either, but I believe I have a cemetery and plot number.

Kentucky has tax records for every year. If you find your relative one year but not the next then you know he/she died during that period. You might also call the county in which this person died and see if there is a deed for them. The deed is usuallly filed the first court date after death. The division deed will also name every heir, spouse or anyone inheriting. Deeds are a lot of work, but really great when you find the special one. Donna in Ky.

Where would I look for tax records? I searched for property tax, but all I found reference to is the early (1700's) lists that they use in place of census info. My Crawford is in Michigan and still a total mystery, but my Ky hurdle, a L.J. Laird, Graves Co., last seen for sure in 1900 census. I have a listing with the initials reversed (as his often are) in a "Commercial Rating and Mailing List of Graves Co 1905 - 1906". I'm not sure what this list actually is, a cousin found it and mailed it to me. The children were scattered by the 1910 census, so I am guessing that my lost couple died between 1905 - 1910. I haven't found anything new in so long, I have considered hiring someone from the area to help.
