The following website has been in existence for a few years. It is an effort to index and put online copies of original birth, death and marriage records. To date the KY Death Certificates are posted to 1917. It is a slow process and the documents are processed by volunteers. _http://kyvitals.com/index.php_ (http://kyvitals.com/index.php) Currently there is a need for someone to transcribe the Allen County certificates. I am the proofer for that county so am not eligible to transcribe information for indexing. If anyone is interested in learning more about the process or has a couple hours per month they can spare to assist in this valuable project, please contact Sherri Bradley at: _ldrbelties@earthlink.net_ (mailto:ldrbelties@earthlink.net) Sharon Tabor **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
