Thank you to all of you who have helped me on this mystery name of mine!! I sure appreciate all of you. Judy, is the marriage listing from Breathitt Co records? She must have been married before she married this Shadie McDaniel too, if she was listed as widow and on the 1910 census as widow also. Yvonne, I could only find a birth record for a child born to Paulina Large in 1911, is the record for America Large's child on the Breathitt Co website? Thanks so much to all of you!!

You can also get these death certificates at the library in Cynthiana, Ky. for a dime. You print them out yourself. > [Original Message] > From: Ronald C.

You can also go to the Kenton County Library up in Northern KY and you can copy them for yourself and they were only a dime but that has probably gone up to a quarter. It is really helpful timewise if you take the date of death, county, certificate number and any other information you might have with you. Most of the time you can get this information online at http://ukcc.uky.edu/~vitalrec/. Otherwise you have to go to a microfiche at the library and look the info up and then go to a microfilm to locate the certificate and the machine has a copying machine attached to it and just drop in your coins and then you have a copy that is not certified. The Kenton County Public Library main branch is located at 502 Scotts Street in Covington, KY, number is 859-962-4060. Web address with library holdings list is www.kenton.lib.ky.us/gen/vitalstats.html . They have records for the whole state of Kentucky and some things for other states. It is a very good place to search and very helpful staff. Betty Estep

The Senate did not vote on the vital records bill yesterday. (HB100) They passed it over and did not vote on it. It still could come up for a vote before the sessions ends. To make your feelings known, contact the Senate: Out of State 502-564-8100 In Kentucky: 1-800-372-7181 You can leave a message for ALL Senators. If you do not live in Kentucky tell them that this bill affects your right to information about your family who died in Kentucky. Other states have solved the identity theft issue by issuing certificates that are non-certified and stamped "For Genealogical Use Only - Not For Identification." Bill Status Line: 1-866-301-9004 HB 100

I've gotten so many requests that I'd better clarify how to get copies of the non-certified death certificates for 1911 - 1953 from the Kentucky Historical Society. You have to GO to the Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort to copy them yourself for .30. You can also request a library reference person to copy it for you by mail or online. The charge is $5 if you are in-state or $12 if you are out-of-state. If you want more than one certificate use the Staff Researcher service which is hourly. $25 per hour (or $15 if you are a member of the Kentucky Historical Society.) They can copy several in an hour. Please us the online index to get the certificate number and year that it was filed. (usually this is the same year as the death.) One of the easiest to use is the Kentucky Vital Records Project of the Kentucky Gen Web. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp/ You can order the certificates online with a credit card from the Kentucky Historical Society. Go to http://history.ky.gov Click on "Shop the 1792 Store" Click on "research" By mail with a check in advance: Kentucky Historical Society Library 100 W. Broadway Frankfort, KY 40601

While doing some research I found something interesting in a set of very old books which my husband gave me. We live in Illinois and my father was born in Eastern Kentucky, so I have a little more than average interest in Lincoln. The letters are written in a very informal, easy-to-read style for that time. The letters regarding his family's history sound very much like what we write to each other (or email) today. >From Letters and Telegrams, by Abraham Lincoln, published by The Current Literature Publishing Co., 1907. This is a three volume set. Washington, March 24, 1848 Mr. David Lincoln. Dear Sir: Your very worthy representative Gov. McDowell, has given me your name and address, and as my father was born in Rockingham, from whence his father, Abraham Lincoln, emigrated to Kentucky about the year 1782, I have concluded to address you to ascertain whether we are not of the same family. I shall be much obliged if you will write me, telling me whether you in any way know anything of my grandfather, what relation you are to him, and so on. Also, if you know where your family came from when they settled in Virginia, tracing them back as far as your knowledge extends. Very respectfully, A. Lincoln The letter that follows the one above is a letter acknowledging receipt of David Lincoln's letter and providing David with more information about Abraham's family and migrations. The books are very fragile so it isn't possible for me to scan anything but I would be willing to look up names of possible Lincoln connections.

The Kentucky Death certificates for 1911-1953 are available on microfilm at the Kentucky Historical Society and other genealogical libraries in Kentucky. At KHS the cost is .30 each. The deaths are indexed online at: Rootsweb http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ky/death/search.cgi (1911-2000) Vital Search http://www.vitalsearch-worldwide.com/ (1911-2002) University of Kentucky http://ukcc.uky.edu/~vitalrec/ (1911-1986) This will not change if the legislation passes. Only the later certificates will not be available. Sharon

The Kentucky Legislature is getting ready to drastically limit access to Kentucky vital records including BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES, and DIVORCE. (MILITARY RECORDS are also being limited but I do not know which bill is involved.) You can find the entire bill at: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/record/04rs/HB100/SCS1.doc Death certificates will still be public record after 50 years but more recent death certificates will only be available to: 1. the decedent's widow or widower, 2. child eighteen (18) years of age or older 3. parent 4. grandparent 5. sibling eighteen (18) years of age or older 6. funeral director handling the decedent's funeral arrangements 7. personal representative of the decedent's estate 8. a named beneficiary of an insurance policy of the decedent 9. a person with a claim against the decedent's estate This means that genealogists can no longer order great-uncle Jasper's death certificate to see his parents' names. Birth records will be have limited access while the person is living but will still be public record after 100 years. Divorce and marriage records will be closed for 70 years. We are very late in the process. Jan 6-introduced in House; to Health and Welfare (H) Jan 15-posted in committee Jan 29-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Jan 30-2nd reading, to Rules; floor amendment (1) filed to Committee Substitute Feb 2-posted for passage in the Regular Orders of the Day for Tuesday, February 3, 2004 Feb 10-3rd reading, passed 94-2 with Committee Substitute, floor amendment (1) Feb 11-received in Senate Feb 17-to State and Local Government (S) Mar 16-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Mar 17-2nd reading, to Rules THIS TUESDAY, March 23, this bill will be voted on in the full Senate. If it passes, it will go to Gov. Fletcher for his signature into law. Call and email your senator and let him know that you want HB 100 to fail. Time is critical! Do it by Monday, at the latest. You can find your Senator at http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/whoswho/whoswho.htm Telephone: 502-564-8100 FAX : 502-564-6543 Postal address: 700 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601 Toll Free Numbers - 2004 Session (only for Kentucky) Bill Status Line: 1-866-301-9004 Legislative Message Line: 1-800-372-7181 This is the same bill that failed in committee during the last Legislative session. The genealogists of the state worked together to stop its passage. Please pass this information along to others.

Thursday, April 8 * "Rural Life and the New Deal." David Hamilton shares how the New Deal affected the lives of rural Kentuckians. Thursday, May 13 * "Franklin Roosevelt in Kentucky." Tracy Campbell returns to discuss the public response to President Roosevelt's visit to Kentucky and his New Deal policy. Thursday, June 10 * "Depression Diversions: 1930s Popular Culture."

Friends, The Jason Little affair and the burning of records in Breathitt County are two separate events. Jason Little shot and killed his second wife on October 18, 1878 in the front room of their small home on Cane Creek. The County Clerk's Office with marriage records and deeds (not the courthouse) burned as the result of arson on October 3, 1873. The records for trials and criminal cases including the trial of Jason Little are intact. The only time the Breathitt County Courthouse burned in 1886 after the C. J. Little Storehouse fire spread across the street. Thanks, Stephen D. Bowling
