For folks who are too distant to personally obtain death records, here is a way to do it from your computer: 1.) Go to the Death Records online database in Rootsweb that is here: http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ky/death/search.cgi 2.) Print the page that has the search results 3.) Then go to the Kenton County Library info request page that is here: http://www.kenton.lib.ky.us/lochist.html 4.) It will cost $3.00 to get a death certificate mailed to you. Kenton County Library has death certificates for the entire state of Kentucky for the years 1911 to 1995. I contacted the Kenton Co. Library to ask how much a copy of a death certificate is. They responded with $3.00 per copy. A bill comes with the copies. Their Vital Statistics holdings are here: http://www.kenton.lib.ky.us/gen/vitalstats.html This is most helpful library website I have seen in the State of Kentucky! Thank you to S. Jobert who posted the e-mail address to the library. Diane Shaw St. Louis, MO

Diane is correct in that the KCL has death certificates on film available for copying. But the KCL only has an INDEX for the entire state of KY for the years 1911-1995 (other indexes go to present time), not all the death certificates. KCL has microfilmed copies of the actual death certificates ONLY through 1949. Those issued after this date still have to be ordered individually from Vital Statistics in Frankfort. There is a statute which limits publishing the actual certificates in any form until they are at least 50 years old (I think.) Deborah
