Hello, My handbook says that there are marriage and probate records available (county clerk) from 1781. And, it says that the clerk of the circuit court has divorce records from 1850 and that the archivist has civil court records from 1780. WHICH archivist are they talking about. Is this an archivist on the local level or a state archivist? I am looking for information on my Tucker family. My ancestor, Aaron Tucker was in Jefferson Co. KY in 1801 when his eldest known child was born. He was probably there earlier as well. Is there an 1800 census for Jefferson Co. KY? Are tax lists available for this era? If so, where might I obtain copies of these tax records? I would love to know if there are any early biographical volumes for the area as well. ANYTHING of this era would be very helpful. Any ideas? I am trying to find any other TUCKERS who may have been in Jefferson Co. at the same time Aaron was. Joan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

Joan -- you can purchase microfilm for the personal and land tax records for Jefferson County from its time of inception from the Kentucky State Archives in Frankfort, KY. This info is very valuable for pinpointing a lot of things! It is about $15 per reel. If you call them, they will be able to tell you what years are covered in what reels. I bought 5 reels that start when Jeff. Co. was founded and which go into the 1840s, to give you an idea. I have found all my dealings with the Archives in Frankfort to be extremely pleasant and productive. Of course, you need access to a microfilm reader to read the microfilm, but that is another story. I have to go to a library several miles away to do it, whenever I have a spare day, and since I rarely do, it is taking years rather than months. Someday, when I am done, I will donate the microfilm.
