My friends - Today we return to Calloway County to resume our review of the additional Vital Statistics birth records for the year 1878. It is probably time for me to mention again that these early VS records are woefully incomplete and inaccurate. Only about 40% of the actual births, marriages and deaths which occurred in the 1852-1859 and 1874-1878 time frame ever found their way into these records, and those that did are often riddled with errors. As a result, they should be used with caution, and carefully compared to any other existing records(Bible, etc.)to form an opinion as to their accuracy. Subscribers of the JP and Calloway lists can obtain the full dataset for a birth shown in the listing below by sending a request to me. These datasets usually include the date of birth, gender of the child, if not obvious, the name of the father and maiden name of the mother and where each was born. Your continuing assistance in not resending this entire message back to me is appreciated. Tomorrow, we will look at another KY law case. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Calloway County - Vital Statistics Records - Births - 1878 - Part 3S (M)=Male (F)=Female Hardison, L.P.
