Forgot to mention: -- Kentucky did not mandate reporting of births until 1911, so it may be hard to find further proof of a birth date for somebody born in 1903. -- Frankfort, Franklin Count, KY is the current and historical state capital. They have an excellent organization there, the Kentucky Historical Society. They may be able to help you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennie & Bob Cox" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 5:54 AM Subject: Re: [KYFRANKL] YOUNG and WOOLUMS > Your George Young appears in the 1930 US census in Cleveland, Cuyahoga > County, OH.
