My friends - Tonight, we will resume our look at the Marshall County Vital Statistics Birth Records. We had, in previous posts, worked our way up to 1854, and we will continue with that year tonight. As always, if you see a birth which is of interest to you, and you would like the full dataset on that birth(which includes the date of birth and the name of the father and maiden name of the mother), let me know and I will get that information to you. We have 7 new subscribers who have come to the JP List in the past 48 hours, and I want to welcome them and invite them to post their surnames and research needs to the List so that we can all try to assist them in their ancestral hunt. I would also suggest that if any of our subscribers have general questions about the Jack Purchase, they may wish to go to the JP FAQ Page at: http://users.arn.net/~billco/jacksonfaq1.html before posting a question to the List - many of the usual questions have an answer on the FAQ page. New subbers may also wish to go the JP searchable List Archives, which contain all of the posts to this List for the past 13 months, including my 275+ data posts. You may find some good clues there. It can be found here: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L I should probably also remind our newer list members of something that our tenured subscribers already know - we should always remember that the vital statistics records in KY in the 1852-59 time frame are woefully incomplete and inaccurate. Only about 40%-50% of the births, marriages and deaths that occurred in that time frame found their way into the VS records. So use VS records with caution, and try to find other, more reliable corroboration for such records, if possible(and it often is not possible, of course). -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marshall County Vital Statistics Records - Births - Part 10 m=male f=female Furgeson, Rebecca J.
