Idy Try this. They are usual real good in helping people. Don't remember which office the records are in. Perry County School Administrative Office 439-5813, Address 315 Park Av., Hazard, Ky. Pat

Pat: The number will help. I will give them a call. Mom was born in TN but came to Hazard when Mom was young. It would be after that. She was born Feb. 15, 1912, and then another thing I found gave her birth as 1915. I go with the 1912 myself. You remember mom's sister, Pearl Perry, at Kenmont. I found her school record but not Mom's so far.

Hi Folks, I just added two new family tree charts to the Perry Co Stuff Site. JPD sent me his own and its very extensive. Thank you JPD! I also added one for Jimmy D. Vanover, starting with his son Michael D. Vanover. Thanks Jimmy! If anyone else wants a chart made for their family tree, send me your information and I'll add it. Lynda

Below came this morning from Rootsweb Review newsletter and I thought it important to pass along. Kathy * * * New Bill Will Close Records to Genealogists HR10, which was mentioned in the 13 October issue of RootsWeb Review, has passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives and is now part of S.2845. The amendments suggested by David Rencher in his letter to the bill's sponsor, Congressman J. Dennis Hastert, were NOT incorporated into this legislation. Thus, the terms of HR10 will now be considered by the Senate, as part of S.2845. If S.2845 becomes law, as now written, family historians will face some real challenges in attempts to obtain birth records, even on long- deceased individuals. Specifically, what genealogists need to do is suggest to their lawmakers the addition of Sec. 3061(b)(1)(A)(iii) that would read: "who is alive on the date that access to their birth certificate is requested." This addition would clarify that the legislation (soon to be law) applies ONLY to birth certificates of CURRENTLY LIVING PERSONS. If you do not know your U.S. Senator's e-mail address, you can find it at http://www.senate.gov/ This bill can be found online at http://thomas.loc.gov/ Put in S.2845 (in the bill number window) and then select item No. 3; and go to Subtitle B--Identity Management Security; Chapter 2--Improved Security for Birth Certificates.
