Can I get a death certificate from before 1910 at the Muhlenberg county courthouse? I know the state did not keep records until 1911, but maybe the counties did? I am trying to research my great-great grandfather who died between 1900 and 1910 but I'm not sure when or where. He lived in Central City.

Maya, If you can't locate a pre-1910 death certificate in Muhlenberg County, try the genealogy library at the Kentucky History Center in Frankfort. I have found birth, death, and marriage records there as early as the 1850s, and their records go back farther than I've searched. They have an online catalog of holdings at www.history.ky.gov. Click on the "Research" link on the left side, then "Library," then go to the bottom of the screen and click "Resources Available in the KHS Library." Also, this site has a "Research Services" link for requesting look-ups and copies of records. Another location to consider: The Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives, also in Frankfort. Check www.kdla.gov/research.htm. (Look at the list on the left side of the screen. You can submit research requests and purchase copies of birth/death/marriage/divorce/military records online.) There's also a free "ask a librarian" link for basic information about library holdings. To see the online catalog, click on "Catalog" -- a small link under the "Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives" heading. Also, thanks to Betty Burch for the suggestion to dig around in the Greenville library and courthouse. I hope to do that this spring.

Can you tell me if the Greenville Library has information on people in other counties in Ky... mainly Todd, Hopkins and Caldwell Co. I want to visit there this summer and don't know if I will have time to visit all of the counties. Thanks for any help.
