Vital statistics films? -----Original Message----- From: kygarrar-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:kygarrar-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of E Kaspar Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 10:04 PM To: M. A. Farrell; kygarrar@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [KYGARRAR] County data Looking for a miracle! The late Joan Colbert Gioe of "The Researchers" in Indianapolis, put out dozens of booklets listing Kentucky vital statistics. Alas, none cited any sources. The booklets listed data by county; several focused on data from Garrard County. For ten years or so I have been searching for her sources for the many births listed to my great4grandparents, James and Elizabeth Fuqua Baker in the late 1700s and early 1800s in Garrard Co. Librarians at The Kentucky History Center (They report many similar requests regarding her sources), the state archives and The Filson Society in Louisville all are stumped. Together we have searched in vain. Also I have put repeated queries in the journal of The Kentucky Genealogy Society and the Garrard Co. Historical Society Newsletter. I sought help from the KY. expert at the library in Salt Lake City as well. I have been offering $75 to anyone who can produce her original sources for these Baker data. The offer still stands. In this particular Garrard booklet, her list contains several hundred births and marriages; therefore she must have found a sizable book of data. Her husband has no idea where she found the material though he reports that she spent most of her research time in Frankfort. I continue to hope that someone will stumble on her original sources. Somewhere they have to exist! E. A.
