The Kentucky Death certificates for 1911-1953 are available on microfilm at the Kentucky Historical Society and other genealogical libraries in Kentucky. At KHS the cost is .30 each. The deaths are indexed online at: Rootsweb http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ky/death/search.cgi (1911-2000) Vital Search http://www.vitalsearch-worldwide.com/ (1911-2002) University of Kentucky http://ukcc.uky.edu/~vitalrec/ (1911-1986) This will not change if the legislation passes. Only the later certificates will not be available. Sharon

The Kentucky Legislature is getting ready to drastically limit access to Kentucky vital records including BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES, and DIVORCE. (MILITARY RECORDS are also being limited but I do not know which bill is involved.) You can find the entire bill at: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/record/04rs/HB100/SCS1.doc Death certificates will still be public record after 50 years but more recent death certificates will only be available to: 1. the decedent's widow or widower, 2. child eighteen (18) years of age or older 3. parent 4. grandparent 5. sibling eighteen (18) years of age or older 6. funeral director handling the decedent's funeral arrangements 7. personal representative of the decedent's estate 8. a named beneficiary of an insurance policy of the decedent 9. a person with a claim against the decedent's estate This means that genealogists can no longer order great-uncle Jasper's death certificate to see his parents' names. Birth records will be have limited access while the person is living but will still be public record after 100 years. Divorce and marriage records will be closed for 70 years. We are very late in the process. Jan 6-introduced in House; to Health and Welfare (H) Jan 15-posted in committee Jan 29-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Jan 30-2nd reading, to Rules; floor amendment (1) filed to Committee Substitute Feb 2-posted for passage in the Regular Orders of the Day for Tuesday, February 3, 2004 Feb 10-3rd reading, passed 94-2 with Committee Substitute, floor amendment (1) Feb 11-received in Senate Feb 17-to State and Local Government (S) Mar 16-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Mar 17-2nd reading, to Rules THIS TUESDAY, March 23, this bill will be voted on in the full Senate. If it passes, it will go to Gov. Fletcher for his signature into law. Call and email your senator and let him know that you want HB 100 to fail. Time is critical! Do it by Monday, at the latest. You can find your Senator at http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/whoswho/whoswho.htm Telephone: 502-564-8100 FAX : 502-564-6543 Postal address: 700 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601 Toll Free Numbers - 2004 Session (only for Kentucky) Bill Status Line: 1-866-301-9004 Legislative Message Line: 1-800-372-7181 This is the same bill that failed in committee during the last Legislative session.

The four topics to be discussed are: * "Kentucky during the Great Depression." Tracy Campbell begins the series with a detailed look at the impact of the Great Depression on the commonwealth. Thursday, April 8 * "Rural Life and the New Deal." David Hamilton shares how the New Deal affected the lives of rural Kentuckians. Thursday, May 13 * "Franklin Roosevelt in Kentucky." Tracy Campbell returns to discuss the public response to President Roosevelt's visit to Kentucky and his New Deal policy. Thursday, June 10 * "Depression Diversions: 1930s Popular Culture." David Hamilton concludes by exploring books, movies, music, and other aspects of cultural life in the thirties. Thursday, July 8 Background reading materials will be provided and a Depression-era dessert will be served at each session. All sessions begin at 7 p.m. at the Kentucky History Center. The fee is $45 for members of the Kentucky Historical Society or $50 non-KHS members. Preregistration and prepayment are required because attendance is limited.

We are searcing for the old Selby Family Bible which was owned by Tom Selby (probably belonged to his father Greenberry Selby). It was sold at an auction in Russell Co., KY, at the Tom Selby Farm. It was probably early 40's. The Bible was purchased by Waco McKinley. We are trying to find a record to prove the birth of Levi Selby to Greenberry Selby and Eliza Conover. It is common knowledge but no one seems to be able to find proof of this. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this Bible or knows any other information that would prove this relationship, please contact me. Steve Weston nandswest@netpenny.net

Also, the Spring 1985 issue of "Traces," the quarterly publication of the South Central Kentucky Historical and Genealogical Society, Glasgow, KY, has the early Aaron line in it. The WDC site shows the Abraham below as the son of Abraham E. Aaron Jr. and Ellender Perdue, as you thought. Abraham E. Aaron Jr. shown as the son of Abraham Aaron Sr. and unknown. Abraham E.'s 1st wife was Chloe Pearson (no children listed) per this site. Jesse Hagan, a researcher that had a website up a few years ago, also had the Aaron line listed, and he stated Abraham's 1st wife was Chloe or May Pearson. The last time I looked for his site, I couldn't find it, but I had printed out quite a few pages from it. Email me if you want copies of the "Traces" article and the pages on Aarons from Hagan's website.

In "The Cemeteries Under Lake Cumberland and The Russell County, KY, Death Records 1852-1858, 1874, 1878, 1903-1904," there are a couple of things that are very confusing. "Abraham Aaron, 75 year old male, widower, farmer, born Virginia, resident of Russell Couny, died Russell County, December 20, 1878 of pneumoia. Parents listed as Abraham and May Aarons, both born MD (Maryland)." I think possibly this would be Abraham Aaron, III, son of Abraham Aaron, II and Ellender Perdue, born December 29, 1803, in Pittsylvania County, VA. Abraham Aaron, II claimed he was born in Pennsylvania. Also, who is May? "Elizabeth Sullivant, 34 year old female, farmer's wife, born Adair County, resident of Russell County. Parents listed as Davison and Mary Bradshaw, died Russell County, May 24, 1854. Childbirth listed as cause of death." This should have been wife of John Sullivan(t) and daughter of Gideon and Mary Ennis Bradshaw. Is the first Abraham Aaron a different one to son of Abraham Aaron, II? Who is Davison Bradshaw? Who is May Aaron? Thanks. Alene Bradshaw

As best I can tell, Emma had brothers, Charles, Thomas, Richard and maybe a James A., Abner? and Nathan. I'm thinking that because there is such a difference in ages Wesley born 1825 and Sally @1841, that she was probably his 2nd wife. Emma and Jeff Parmley had my grandmother Addie Parmley and she married William Bell (who was the son of Joe Salle Bell)---they all lived in Monticello, Ky.
