Please everyone who has ever had to or may have family that they will need info. on from the state of Kentucky call this line and let them pass the word own to the judiciary committee to vote no. We need to be able to get copies of birth and death info. on our families. How else can we prove that this person was in our line. This is our best resource and they want to do away with it because criminals are using for fraud. If they don't have this source they will find another. Don't let them handcuff us, we are not criminals. We deserve to be able to look at this records.
