The Kentucky Birth Index online is a wonderful tool to have, but I have a lot of trouble getting to it and others say they have been unable to access it. I don't know what problem others have, but the problem I get is as soon as I get the page I want, it is replaced by another page saying that it is unable to display my page. I believe these are error messages caused by advertisements that are failing to load properly, so to get to where I want I have to either hit BACK to go back to the page I wanted and I have to hit ESC to stop it from trying to load the advertisement that causes the failure message. If you cannot get to it I really can't help you. I can't be at your computer and see what it is that is preventing you from getting access, I can only tell you what works for me. The url has recently changed. To get to it now I go here: http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/ky/_vitals/kybirths.htm and click ESC to stop further internet loading and prevent the error page from coming up Then I click where it says Searchers Enter Here and on the next page I click on "BEGIN" down in the lower right corner before another error page pops up and that gets me the search form. Sometimes an error page appears and I hit BACK then ESC to stop that error from popping up again, and I hit the BEGIN in the lower right to get to the form. I don't know the current status of proposed legislation that would affect the availability of Kentucky Vital Statistics. I wrote my legislator in opposition to any change that would make the information unavailable.

There is a great index to Kentucky Births starting in 1911 available at: http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/php/tbl_select_txbiygen.php3?server=1&db=vitalsearchca&table=kybirths_99&goto=db_details-a.php3 It's starts in 1911, like the Kentucky Death Index. You can fill in any part of the form and it will open a new window with matching info. The code for Carroll is CARRL, Gallatin is GLLTN, Owen is OWEN, Henry is HENRY, and Trimble is TRMBL. Click on the top of the columns to sort results by that column. On my computer it sometimes skips past the results and fails to open an advertisement and a "cannot display" window pops up. I click on the "back" button in the new window to get the results. The code for Carroll is CARRL, Gallatin is GLLTN, Owen is OWEN, Henry is HENRY, and Trimble is TRMBL. Better take a look at it before the privacy nuts get it shut down, like the one in California was. Or it turns into a fee-based service.

SOME CAME RUNNING (1958) with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley McClaine is showing again at the Ohio Theatre (105 E. Main, Madison, Indiana) this week, at 7pm Central (8pm Eastern). And it is quite a good film; television doesn't do it justice. It is a unique experience to see a movie in a theater that actually appears in the film it is showing. So much of Madison is visable and the city has not changed much. The film is sponsored and tickets are free (but don't make the mistake of bringing the kids, it will bore them and they'll ruin the film for everyone else). I'm compiling a list of where various shots of the movie were filmed. If anyone knows any more, please drop me a line. What I have so far: Opening credits: Bus comes down big hill at Milton, Ky, passing the Longview Inn restaurant (the house with the pay telescopes). Exterior of Hirsh's Jewelry Store: 110 E. Main, almost directly across from the Ohio Theatre [Interior the same?]. Now an antique store. Exterior of Hotel where Dave Hirsh [Sinatra] stays: 301 Mulberry Street (NW corner of Second). [Lobby interior the same?]. Sinatra's Hotel Room interior: Apparently in building next to the Ohio Theatre (103 E. Main?), the Jewelry store is visable across the street in some shots. Smitty's Bar exterior: 302 Jefferson (NE Corner of Second) Fight outside of Smitty's: Second Street side of 302 Jefferson. Glass bricks and doorways still visable today. Hirsh House: I believe filmed on Hanover College Campus French House: A handout from last year described this as the "Hermosa Vista House." Scenes appear to be filmed at Hanover College. College: Hanover College Bus Station: 206-208 E. Second Street (according to handout from last year). Exterior of Bama's (Dean Martin) House: 748 West 3rd Street. [Interior the same?] Carnival: much of it staged on Jefferson between Main and Second Street; Ohio Theatre on Main Street visable in some scenes. Lanchak looks out window: Appears to be 103 Main Street, next to the Ohio Theatre. Perhaps the exterior side of Dave's [Sinatra] hotel room interior. Shooting at the end: A fellow attending the movie said this was in front of a building, no longer standing, near the corner of Jefferson and Second Streets. Cemetery in last scene: Moffett Cemetery on the hill behind Milton, Kentucky. Most of the stones visable in the movie were movie props, placed closer to the edge than actual gravestones. Interiors and exteriors were not always shot in the same place. If anyone knows any more filming locations, let me know.
