My friends - Today, we are returning to a series I began in late 2003, covering early vital statistics records for the JP counties. As I have said many times, the vital statistics records in the 1852-1859 and 1874-1878 time frames(the only two periods in the 19th century when such records were mandated statewide), are woefully incomplete and inaccurate. Nevertheless, they sometimes constitute the only records, reliable or otherwise, that can be found for a 19th century family member. The VS records below are for births with the surnames beginning with the letter "V". As a result, there are not many of them, but for those of you with family members with a "V" surname, this may be of interest to you. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken County - Vital Statistics Records - 1852-1859 - Births - Part 30 Vadder, Unity, born 10 Nov 1853.
