Sandi Gorin of Kentucky runs a rootsweb page about Kentucky Research. I believe you have to subscribe, but frequently I am able to access the older posts on rootsweb lists by searching the archives of the older posts of selected lists.. Lately she has been posting *delayed birth certificates* of Kentucky counties, and I spied a baby girl with the surname UTZ. In case someone is interested, here is the name of the rootsweb _KYRESEARCH@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:KYRESEARCH@rootsweb.com) And this is one of the latest subjects: TIP #740 – KY DELAYED BIRTH CERTIFICATE INDEX - BOONE CONCLUSION & BOURBON PART 1 These certificagtes pertain to children who have been born in the last few years. (When I think of delayed birth certificates, I think of those filed by my parents, born in the early 20th century, when their birth state did NOT require birth certificates. However, when the Social Security act passed, people began filing for delayed birth certificates. The interesting thing about my parents' delayed birth records was that each one had a lving parent who could vouch for the date of the birth, etc.) By the way, just to vertify that UTZ was one of the second Germanna colony, I did a search of the Family History Library catalog and did a surname search for the surname UTZ. If you have not done a similar search (surname search under the tab Library and then catalog) on the URL familysearch.org, I urge you to do so. You may find a family history or two submitted by a distant cousin. And a lot of these family histories have been filmed, and you can borrow the film, most of the time, through your nearby Family History Center--for a small fee. Remember there may be errors, but you may find some wonderful information! E.W.Wallace **************Need a job? Find an employment agency near you.
