My friends - Today we are returning to McCracken County to continue our review of the Vital Statistics birth records for that county in the 1852-1861 time frame. Subscribers to the JP and McCracken lists can obtain the full dataset for a birth shown in the listing below by sending a request to me. These datasets usually contain the date of birth, gender of the child if not obvious, and the name of the father and maiden name of the mother. In some cases, the exact location within the county where the birth occurred is shown. As always, your continuing assistance in not resending this entire message back to me with the request is appreciated. The is a large number of births for the surname "Smith" in this group, and those will be provided in a separate message in the near future. Tomorrow, we will move down to Graves County. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken County - Vital Statistics Records - 1852 - 1861 - Births - Part 26 (M)=Male (F)=Female (AA)=African-American (NGG)=No Gender Given (ILL)=Illegitimate Smedley, M.C.
