I am in possession of a letter written by a woman called Frances Purdy in 1966. She was born in 1905 according to data in the letter and was a relative of mine (or married to one) but attempting to determine exactly who she was. Clues in the letter say her mother died on 1/20/1958 in Louisville. So, question #1: Does anyone know if it's possible to search the KY Death index by date..? I can do it by year but over 5000 deaths in 1958 is a little tough! Question #2: She lived at 713 South 13th Street. Are there any city directories from late 1950s-1960s that might help with who owned the home and/or who lived there? Question #3: Any easy way to look for an obit just after 1/20/1958 for a survivor named Frances Purdy... Any other thoughts ? ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM. All on demand.
