This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBB.2ACI/1467.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello: In reply to free genealogy. Transcribers of records have made available free genealogy records. They have spent their money, their time and with a free spirit have asked nothing in-return. Micro-film is not cheap. If you need the orginal, then you have no other recourse but to order from the state and you will pay the orginal price no matter who gets it for you. If you did your homework, you would know that Kentucky, official death certificates are on micro-film for the years 1911 to 1949. Records prior to 1911 does not include, Eastern Kentucky. To use this board, the rules are, there is no advertising of any material for personal or commericial profit. Not my rule but Ancestry's rule. They owned the boards and we as keepers of the board are required to delete or move the post to the correct board. The same is true for the lists, this board is gatewayed to the mailing list and the rule is anyone violating the AUP will be subject to the reject list. Elva
